A letter written to a young supporter by Brian Clough in 1955 on Middlesborough Football and Athletic Club headed paper along with another hand written letter with Clough's home address detailed at the top to the same fan along with a signed picture of himself in pen taken from a periodical of the time and a headed sheet with all of the Boro facsimile team autographs featured. All documents have been removed from a scrap book and show the original cellotape used to fix them in place and have, at some point, been folded. The young fan's father had written to Brian Clough requesting a signed picture for his disabled son, and Clough had clearly gone over and above to make sure he had just what he asked for, but with the addition of the whole team as well as two personal letters that would have meant so much at the time.
