If I'm not mistaken, Johnny Giles sued the author of the book for misrepresenting him the way that he did. Giles won the case in the end.

yes is true ..!! like him and this movie.

Mark Ratcliff I have to agree it’s absolutely brilliant

Mike basset was brilliant mind

@Hamish Munroe Purely for the football it has to be Escape To Victory? (apart from Stallone!)

Don't forget Football Factory. Most action off the pitch though!

Was this film popular outside England / Britain

IQ test are culturally specific, particularly back then. His intelligence was clearly above the 70s.

Iq test are so culture biased. They never take in other skills like how many languages a person may know.

Brilliant manager but 251 goals in 274 isn't remotely close to what Fernando Peyroteo did in Portugal (his stats make Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi look like Division 1 upstarts)

Wow, was The Damned United an indie film?

Not without Peter Taylor.

I think Sheen playing the part of Cloughie should have a go at being England manager. Of course with Tim Spall by his side as Taylor.

A deep rooted jealously of Don Revie's achievements with Leeds United was Clough's Achilles heel.... His cavalier attitude at the head of English football would never have worked.. Thank God ......he was never appointed England Manager..he believed he was a god. The big head.

@@rickyraw5457 As a Manchester City supporter I'm in kind of a strange position with this given City's link to Revie and the fact Clough didn't get the England job largely due to the opposition of Peter Swales who frankly it pains me to say anything nice about. And while I agree I don't think Clough would have made a good international manager.. Although I would argue he was the best club manager the country has ever seen. With regards to Leeds it was the wrong job at the wrong time, for anyone, perhaps even more so for Clough! which I think events that happened afterwards kind of proved.. when I watched the film it was funny to see how many of the Leeds team ended up either managing them or coaching them over the following 10 years!

Gary Walker Wrong. Revie had basically the same team for over a decade. Won 2 titles, 1 Fa Cup, 1 League Cup n a European fairs cup plus reached countless finals/semi finals n finished always in at least the top 4 in league. Don Revie had a much longer period of success especially if you put those stats to today’s game. Clough had success no doubt but couldn’t maintain his position at the top.

@@Al-ou3so I'm on about after he left Leeds for the england job ,I'm not on about what he won with leeds

Clough was always pissed. 😂

@@markharrison8216 aye. Fucking great..

@@garywalker9494 would be have done any of that of he hadn't learned any of the harsh lessons he learned at Leeds?

Lol me xD that club should never not be in the top flight.

I'll be here if Nottingham Forest goes back up too

@@iceice0000 hope you boys do from a pompey fan!

I wouldn't say he was the best, but he would be in the top 1

It’s hard to forget Clough. He was very controversial but very clever with words. Unbeatable, in fact.

Are you honestly trying to say that Michael Sheen is the best actor alive?

@ John Simonson - there’s no doubting he’s an amazing actor.

Paul Round Saying he’s the best actor ever is absolutely mental.

@ John Simonson - perhaps you would like to read my post again and consider what you’ve posted? I described Michael Sheen as “an amazing actor” rather than “the best actor ever”.

Paul Round Yes and im talking about the original comment Paul you fucking mouthbreather x

love leeds too

@@instacoino1925 Sadly even football is not good these days. Britian is not a nice place to live anymore, it's cramped island with too many people on it and lack of housing and health sevice is badly run and a rigid class system.

@@instacoino1925 yeah i wouldn't bother if i were you

balf1111117373 thanks. Just watched again Brilliant movie

U seen Goal?

Goal

You could, but the actors are shit, not 9nly that but todays footballers are also shit

Cloughie had an apartment in Cala Millor..

Brian Clough had a great goal scoring record and a tragically short playing career.Great man !

People who knew Clough argue that all the smoking and drinking didn't even happen. lol

Apart from being 6 stone over weight he was pretty accurate !😂😂

Stephen Graham, brilliant English actor

They couldn't find a short,red headed, angry Scottish actor for the part!

Looked like Rab C Nesbitt in a ginger wig but he played the part well.

jlm14jlm Wrong. It was actually written by Piers Morgan. Everyone knows that.

Jlm14jlm That's actually a fair point. Morgan actually did the screenplay but the trailer is making it like its his book. Can I posit a theory? You'll notice if you've read the book IT BEARS ABSOLUTELY NO RELATION to Peaces book just as with West Yorkshire regional theatre's version - which exists in book form and is well worth checking out. I think Peace may have had a huff over this - with good reason probably, and probably insisted on having his name taken off especially as he was working on his Shankly book about that time. Its well documented that when Morgan expressed an interest in directing as well as writing a film on Clough, it was going to be Don Shaws book about Cloughs resignation and dealings with Sam Longson but the book missed several deadlines and because Ron Howard was waiting for the film to get made the Damned United was made as a compromise (Shaws book is actually very poignant and funny much like this film whereas Peaces book is insistently dark and by rights should have been a different film if Peace had been involved at the start).

This is a fan made trailer, so I think it's just a mistake

ZD433 Why would you need to be a forest supporter?

I would have thought a Forest supporter would hate the American and British Film Industries giving free advertising to Leeds and Derby County! Forest get some kind of cursory mention at the end I think when everyone's flipping up their seats in the Cinema and brushing off their popcorn etc (I'm still to meet a Forest fan who'll even talk about that movie...)

@@GyitMulhaneski-GloriousYears Forest fan here and enjoyed the film.

anthony let’s hope they don’t make a resurgence now were at our peak again

@@biblemaniswatchingyoumastu1920 Not much chance of that . Come on you Rams !

Anthony Just out of interest do you know the story about Clough and Shankly visiting Goodison Park back in 78? Its definitely true because it was detailed in a book a few years back.

Yes , and Dave Mackay as well !!!

@@johnlowdon5809 If only they'd gave him the England job we'd be spared all this..

@@GyitMulhaneski-GloriousYears You`re right they were too scared of Mr Clough.

John Lowdon probably one of those ‘I don’t get down to the City Ground much these days’ types.

You mean now? 😄😄😄

Nowhere close. Clough was arrogant but smart and witty, and loved the beautiful game. Mourinho is a miserable git who specialised in negative tactics (i.e. parking the bus).
