Aye good film and good book. But... don't take either as being the gospel truth about events at Leeds or even about Clough.
Clough went well off the rails and upset many within Liverpool with comments which he later apologised for. But I'll always remember what Shanks said about him when someone criticised Clough for being outspoken about football:
"Laddie, that man scored 200 goals in 270 matches - an incredible record - and he has won cup after cup as a manager. When he talks, pin back your ears."
The documentary should be brilliant so going to be watching that as they'll be talking to people like O'Neill about him.
Generally ace. Sheen, Spall & Meaney were as usual exccellent. However, the guys they got to play the footballers looked nothing like their real life counterparts. Billy Bremner was paricularly unreal. Spoilt things a bit.
I really enjoyed this movie and was surprised so many people dislike it :S understandbly not all of it is true and I imagine and expect the book to be better as alot more can be fit into the story. Overall a great movie which I could watch again, Infact I may Dl or buy it very soon.
