''Brian Clough's Football Fortunes'' is a video game featuring Brian Clough. Reception Paul Rixon for '' Page 6'' said "C'mon CDS, you can do better than this. A great package but what about the program to go with it?" '' Your Commodore'' said "Full marks must go to CDS software for their packaging of Brian Clough's Football Fortunes: the 'funny money', the cards, the board and the instructions all come together to make an excellent package – perhaps not family entertainment, but a great way to amuse your friends for an evening." Chris Holmes for '' Amiga Computing'' said "It's simple, it under-uses the Amiga and it is great." Niels Reynolds for ''Apple User'' said "The balance achieved is just right, making for a great family game – and no crowd trouble."
