BURTON Albion legend Aaron Webster will take the lessons he learned playing under Nigel Clough as he starts out in management – but he’ll do it his own way as well.
Defender Webster played 588 times – and scored 100 goals – to become second on the list of the Championship club’s all-time appearances behind Darren Stride.
Now the 36-year-old is taking his first steps into management with EVO-STIK South outfit Belper Town. If he’s as successful as Clough, then he won’t go far wrong.
Clough oversaw a remarkable rise from the Dr Martens League to the Football League via the UniBond Premier and the Conference – although he left before their title triumph for Derby County.
Webster says a tight bond in the changing room was a powerful weapon in their armoury.
“It’s kind of the same thing I put in my portfolio to get the Belper job,” he says. “We were all local lads, friends on and off the pitch, we weren’t on great money but because we saw each other out of football and had a drink after, as soon as we got on the pitch we fought blood, sweat and tears for each other.
