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.
the damned utd
it is a great book about a great manager of that time and i believe any football fan should sit down and give it a good read and put thier opionions accross and tell others what they think. anyway enjoy the book because i am going to sit down and read it again just because when i read it the first time i got into it and i know i am going to do it again.
