The Damned United
“They love me for what I'm not... ...they hate me for what I am.”
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.
Directed by Tom Hooper, Christine Langan, Hugo Heppell
