8 sourcesSynopsis
Taking over Leeds United, Brian Clough's abrasive approach and his clear dislike of the players' dirty style of play make it certain there is going to be friction. Glimpses of his earlier career help explain both his hostility to previous manager Don Revie and how much he is missing right-hand man Peter Taylor.

Better than your average football pic, Damned United is carried by another star turn from Michael Sheen as Brian Clough.
