Based on David Peace's book, The Damned United portrays the tempestuous 44 days that forthright Brian Clough (Michael Sheen) spent as manager of Leeds United. After alienating the side's star players and a string of awful results, 'Cloughie' was given the boot, but that's just half the story!
Brian Clough was one of a kind.
In 1974, Clough was already a renowned figure, just as much for his dynamic personality as for his fantastic managerial ability. Having led Derby County to the first league victory in their history, Clough left in a cloud of controversy and, after a brief spell at Brighton, found himself in the Leeds United hotseat after Don Revie's departure for the England job. What followed was the most incredible 44 days of football management!

As a life long super leeds united fan, i couldn't wait to watch this film. The cast, the plot etc is spot on. I'm only 23 so im not too familiar with don revi's side back in the 70's but never the less, great film. A must see for any footballing fan, not just leeds fans. Great film. Marching on together :)
Great football film!!!

Love him or hate him , this film centres on the 44 days as the Leeds manager in the early 70's . Michael Sheen is by far one of the best British actors today and plays Cloughie to a tee . Timothy Spall plays his longstanding sidekick Peter Taylor . I shan't give you the plot but what i will say is that after the film you will go onto Youtube and find out whether the some of the scenes are true or just hyped to make the film what it is ... i was surprised.
