Publisher Description
One of Mike Atherton's 'Top Ten Best Sports Books' in The Times
In 1974 the brilliant and controversial Brian Clough made perhaps his most eccentric decision: he accepted the Leeds United manager's job. As successor to Don Revie, his bitter adversary, he was to last only 44 days. In one of the most acclaimed novels of this or any other year, David Peace takes us into the mind and thoughts of Ol'Big'Ead himself, and brings vividly to life one of post-war Britain's most complex and fascinating characters.

The Damned Utd
Incomparable. Unputdownable. The brilliance of the author, the meticulous research, the politicking in the corriders of footballing power, the sheer audacity of Cloughie, and ultimately the bouncebackability of football itself. Loved every page. Over the moon.

Good
Very good read, slightly mis leading in terms of being drunk, arrogant to the extreme but still very worth reading.
