Based on the highly successful book by David Peace of the same name, The Damned United follow's legendary football manager Brian Clough's (Michael Sheen) controversial 44 day management of Leeds United during the late 1970's. After Brian Levy (Colm Meaney) left the Leeds job for the role of English manager, the obvious choice was the eccentric yet successful Brian Clough. Yet, with Clough alienating the majority of the squad and labelling them as awful, Clough was booted out. Incredible real life story and well worth the time of any sport's fan.
