Film: The Damned United directed by Tom Hooper

I picked up this cheap on DVD, Brian Clough's 44 day reign as Leeds United manager in the early 1970s.

Don Revie becomes England manager and leaves Leeds - making the opening for Clough and his assistant Peter Taylor. Taylor goes to work for Brighton who the pair had already struck a deal with, after their dismissal from Derby.

Clough is portrayed as having a massive chip on his shoulder about Revie previously ignoring him in previous encounters. He sets out to change the Leeds mentality and their robust play.

He fails miserably, but along the way all the famous Clough moments are portrayed.

Not a bad film, some good history of the game back in a different era.
