Trailer for the upcoming film ‘The Damned United’. From the best-selling and critically acclaimed novel by David Peace, The Damned United is directed by Tom Hooper and stars Michael Sheen as the legendary, opinionated football manager Brian Clough, with Timothy Spall as his right hand man, only friend, and crutch Peter Taylor. Set in 1960s and 1970s England, THE DAMNED UNITED tells the confrontational and darkly humorous story of Brian Cloughs doomed 44 day tenure as manager of the reigning champions of English football Leeds United. Previously managed by his bitter rival Don Revie (Colm Meaney), and on the back of their most successful period ever as a football club, Leeds had an aggressive and cynical style of football – an anathema to the principled yet flamboyant Brian Clough, who had achieved astonishing success as manager of Hartlepool and Derby County building teams in his own vision with trusty lieutenant Peter Taylor. Taking the Leeds job without Taylor by his side, with a changing room full of Dons boys, would lead to an unheralded examination of Cloughs belligerence and brilliance over 44 days. This is that story. The story of The Damned United. Jim Broadbent plays Sam Longson, Derby Chairman. THE DAMNED UNITED was filmed in locations throughout Yorkshire, Leeds, Derbyshire and Spain In UK cinemas from March 27th 2009.

Hi, just wanted to update you all on the progress of my book. I am putting together a book of memories from people who met the great Brian Clough. I have had lots of fantastic stories so far and have four publishers interested, so its looking very promising.
I still need more, so if you ever met him please put drop me a line with your story for inclusion, I will read and reply to everyone. The email address is [email protected]
Thanks

spunkstained says
The film demonised Billy Bremner,made him look like he was the instigator in him getting the boot.When that was furthere from the truth,according to the Leeds players.But then whats new?About the english blackening the good name of the scots to make money.Fuck em Forrest or Leeds would have done fuck all without them.
jetulik says
@danchalkley1991again …………you need to watch more films if this is the best film you’ve ever seen?
gabcol says
Brian Cough+Peter Taylor = brilliant
Brian Clough on his own = disgrace
He definately was a genius though, too sure of himself and out of control without Pete…
PALversusNTSC says
Such a great movie. one of the best film about football. a must see
gledzuk says
after watching the damned united it makes me hate LEEDS UTD even more. brian clough won in the end he bet revie.
MrDodo76 says
sorry i’m AC MILAN fan,i respect clough,but in the final of movie they said that brian is the last manager that win 2 european leagues in 2 years…IT’S NO TRUE!the last man is ARRIGO SACCHI with AC MILAN IN 1989 AND 1990!GIVE TO DEVIL WHAT IS HIS!
deviantartism says
