😂😂😂 great comment ❤

favourite ever clough moment was when they were losing to Dynamo Berlin in the Quarter Finals in 1980 and he gets interviewed after the first leg and says "no one should even think to write us off" and just looks at the camera with that amused smile of his as if to say "go on write us off, please write us off" course we all know how that one ended.

He’ll yeah!! SHIT ‘OUSE 😂😂

Crossley's stories are great

He was

​@@giovanni6636I highly doubt, this happened but it makes the point that Clough did not like Revie. And didn't want any association with him. This represents the resentment and hatred for Leeds

He was though. It might not have happened but it's entirely believeable that it did. Revie lived in his head rent free.

​@flammenjc noone remember Don now he was remembered for failed England manger and went to unplace to get paid lot to mange unknown club

ive been searching for this ; as am sure i saw it on film when it first came out - but its not on my DVD = ditto the scene where he meets Duncan McKenize at the hotel he's staying at (Midland hotel ?)

2 European Cups in a row, says it all

If many are genius, then no-one is.

He was a wanker. Good when circumstances favoured him though

He should have been England manager.

Nah. Clough’s successes rested upon having people who were all-subservient to him. He could accommodate the odd big character to act as a lieutenant, but he persistently belittled even his main players. When players had little power that was sustainable at club level, but international players wouldn’t stand for it; they would simply make themselves unavailable and wouldn’t have the same loyalty to him. England’s true lost genius was Bob Paisley.

Well said mate , everyone is a perfectionist now 😂

He would have respected her more if she’d immediately shown her willingness to abandon all old ties and loyalty, and get rid of every hint of a man who had been her friend for 13 years? A power flex, no more no less.

@@ronb5714 Never the less she got off on the wrong foot from the moment she stood at the door watching him. She was an employee of Leeds United AFC and her job was to serve Cloughy. She should have knocked on. Introduced her self and tell him abit about what she does and she would probably have not been booted out.

no he did his thing

I think that’s how you have to be to get on in business. They do say all successful people have an unpleasant side. Zero compassion.

Wouldn't a fuller picture of his character of been better?

​@@sjewitt22Clough was a prick, but he never actually did this in real life. Johnny Giles even threatened to sue because of this scene in the book.

@@RenegadeShepTheSpacer I personally like Clough, though i'm pretty left wing, which he also was, so that influences my opinion.

That was John Lambie, the manager of Partick Thistle, talking about his striker Colin McGlashan. Why would any manager tell a concussed full back that he was a striker?

@@dcpwll I'm sure it's been said many times 😂👍

Tony Blair OR Brian Clough. Amazing

it's a dramatisation - i doubt he'd be able to get rid of a member of admin staff either; it's all showing the loathing. To be fair, Clough had a point....

It's a bit OTT

Huh??

​​@@wroot1 Well, f'ing a work colleague within working hours and on the premises, even consensually, is disreputable behaviour. So unless it happened beyond doubt, you open yourself to legal action if you invent such a scenario, or even if you exaggerate a real-life situation to make it seem as if they did. However, having lattes and muffins at work, whether or not they had any taste for them, or whether or not they could or should have consumed them, is not classed as disreputable behaviour and any legal action over this would backfire. In this situation, sacking a secretary still loyal to the old boss may not be disreputable but taking it out on the furniture is a little strange. So, if it didn't happen or is an exaggeration of what did happen, they should leave it out- at least, if Clough were still alive, which he isn't.

That was?

@@TheStockportHatter1986 the burning of Don Revies desk. Nor the snub where revie refused to shake Clough hand at beginning of the amongst the other historical inaccuracies in the film. The one positive was Michael Sheen portrayal of cloughie in the movie.

Because it's Leeds United & it was full of dirty little b's just like Don Revie liked it. My understanding is Don liked to lap up the players before training & after training it lead to some very sticky situations but Don was the man with the mouth for the job I understand he was extremely hands on aswell he liked to get a grip of his players. But Cloughy that was not his style he would rather have a cup of tea them but you in the balls.

Same as when Moyes took over man utd after fergie. Players, led by Rooney, just refused to play to any standard, to make him look shit.

I don't know why but I can't find the original video

​@@owens164I watched a video not long ago of Clough refusing to let the Leeds players have their complimentary cars. Be nice see a few more if there is any

the book covers the Derby side of things and alternates between chapters. Got to say though this movie/book doesn't serve Clough, Leeds, Forest, Revie, or Derby the way it deserves.

For his time at Forest, check out the brilliant film " I Believe in Miracles"

@@laithal-janabi9345 I will thank you Laithal

The film is barely about his time at Leeds.

Nigel Clough said it never happened though he used to like bonfires as kid.

I'm glad it wasn't just me then.I was watching it before reading the comments and i couldn't for the life of me remember this scene in the film.I really had a shiver down my spine thinking my long term memory was going!!! It's a pity they edited out this scene in the final production as it helps in the understanding of the character of the man.

It was in the book. Apparently, it never happened, according to his son Nigel... but it was a terrific scene that never made it to the final cut.

Think it must of been a deleted scene because this wasn’t in the movie

Suppose he thinks only a murderer should play murderer's, only Royalty can play Royalty etc

Still a damm good actor

He play a decent, highly inaccurate, Welsh sounding Brian Clough though. TBF, decent actor, but watching the real man, this isn’t even close.

Think there's clearly a power dynamic between the Welsh and the English here.

@@TheAlmightyAss Not really, only when the Welshman is a hypocritical knob, still a great actor though..

I don't think so mate. The film is based off a book by the same title and there's a lot of fiction in there.

The book says he burned the desk first day, his kids were there and they have no recollection of a bonfire..

Nope

One of the Brian Clough documentary go into detail about the Dammed United especially the book. The book was originally written and was sued by I think pretty much everyone even the former Leeds players backed Brian, the books portrayl was horrific so when they made the film yeah they kept some bits in for the drama but apparently they had to reassure the Clough family it was going to distance itself from the book as much as they could. Either way I wish it made it alot clearer how fiction this is and it no way portrays the story accurately

I would give it 10/10 as well😂

​@matthewbaum4335 precisely one (1) player sued the publishers, and Dave Mackay sued the film producers.

"fiction based on fact" is the most egregiously dishonest art form. By mixing truth in with lies the audience or some of it will accept the full package.

And Taylor needed Clough as much as Clough needed him. A perfect duo.

Clough never burnt the desk. Complete fiction in the warped head of David Peace. Both Johnny Giles and Dave Mackay successfully sued Peace. Had Clough, Revie and Billy Bremner been alive at the time of the books release, they could have done the same and won easily.That scene was cut from the film. There's a reason for that......

he never burnt the desk! in any car park? Im surprised if you are a fan of Clough you would surely make it your business to know this movie is shite based fiction? and Talyor joined him afterwards at Forest for their most spectacular era.

​@@RebelRebeliousMackay sued the producers of the film, Giles sued Faber.

And people need to realise that putting fake things on screen often bleeds into people believing a load of old bollocks.

It's not a made for TV drama, although on a related note people do have trouble understanding what literary fiction is.

You jest but in the interview with revie, clough admitted that hed never greeted even the office lady.
