What a movie. I saw this one yesterday and I think that this movie is pure class. Great Michael Sheen's work.
You saw it?.

Even my dad, who hates football films ("Always too fuckin soppy and never seem remotely realistic") reckons it was a brilliant film, which got everything right and took him back to the good old days.<br /><br />-- Sat Sep 18, 2010 10:56 pm --<br /><br />
The book gives you a glimpse into the demons that Clough had, and felt, and you saw what possibly drove him to success. It's almost an invasion into his mind.
I think they're both good in their own way. The film is a lighter, easier watch that gives you a bit of swaering, story etc.mackenzie said:Yes, Sheen is absolutely fantastic as Clough.
The book was very dark and not easy to read, and I actually thought the film better.

It is very much an invasion into his mind, and that is its problem in a way. For someone who figured so prominently only recently, and whose widow and children are still here, it was an uncomfortable read. Plus, to relay such dark thoughts with no substance at all was dangerous territory.

yeah and Colm Meaney is a fantastic Don Revie....Clough was a genius.
Sad the way it ended for him, but you cant fault his record 1st div Champs @ Derby and Forrest, and European Champions TWICE....and no knighthood...
