While considered by many to be “the greatest manager that England never had”, Brian Clough is most infamous for his brief tenure in the 1970s as the manager of Leeds United. Micheal Sheen (FROST/NIXON, THE QUEEN) turns in yet another inspired performance in this unheralded examination of Clough’s belligerence and brilliance over 44 days. Featuring an all-star British cast including Sheen, James Broadbent, Colm Meany and Timothy Spall, and written by the always brilliant Peter Morgan this film isn’t just for football fans, but for every athlete, coach and motivated individual out there.
