Overachieving and eccentric football manager Brian Clough was on his way to take over at the country's most successful, and most reviled football club: Leeds United, home to a generation of fiercely competitive but ageing players. The battle he'd face there would make or break the club - or him.David Peace's extraordinarily inventive novel tells the story of a world characterised by fear of failure and hunger for success set in the bleak heart of the 1970s.

Review of 'The Damned Utd' on 'Goodreads'

Liked this a lot more than I thought I would. For anyone that isn't interested in football don't worry there is very little actual football in it.

Review of 'The Damned Utd' on 'Goodreads'

Whilst I appreciated Peace's style effectively expressed Clough's alleged obessions, it made for repetitive reading. Need to see the film now.
