The sad thing about this story is that Clough and Taylor fell out again years later and didn’t speak to each other ever again, Peter Taylor died before they could patch things up. Martin Sheen did an incredible job portraying Brian Clough and the film was all based on real events.
As a Forest fan (only live a mile from their ground) Brian Clough is the GOAT. Watch the documentary ‘I Believe In Miracles’ about Cloughie leading Forest to be League and double European Champions
He was a god amongst men , arrogant ? without doubt , a leader of men , yes. I'm a Forest fan and hate Derby County as much as they hate us but we all agree on 1 thing , Clough is the GOAT.
Clough's goalscoring stats as a player were right up there with the best in the world until his horrible injury. He always had a chip on his shoulder after that because he would never be remembered as one of the great players. As a manager he was uncompromising and a brilliant man manager and psychologist (not that he demonstrated that in his short time at Leeds). He had a self destructive streak which came out from time to time. After the failure at Leeds he took Nottingham Forest to European glory twice!!! That's like taking a minor league baseball team from nowhere to winning the World series twice in 2 years. It will never be done again. In his own way, Brian was a pioneer and a genius. He has statues in BOTH Nottingham and Derby and is remembered fondly by those who know and love the game. He's a genuine legend.
In the ~150 years of the English Football League existing only a few managers have won the league with two different clubs. Only one manager won the league with two different clubs that were in the lower leagues when he arrived. That was Brian Clough. There are so many hilarious ancedotes regarding Clough, and (pre alcoholism and the final fall out with Taylor) so many interviews of him giving great quotes. He was also a hell of a player, before his career was cut short by injury.
You guys have to review "I belive in miracles" the documentary about what happened in Nottingham forest. Its a prize winning documentary and the music is fantastic!!
Fascinating, just been watching this and a clip just came up where Brian Clough is in Spain. Tye moment I sure it, I thought that is on the Island of Mallorca, almost certainly at the Formentor Hotel. Well I can’t find out if that is the beach where it was shot, but just looked it’s’ production in Wiki and yep, it’s filmed on Mallorca ( doesn’t say where).
for context for any Americans still not sure on what makes Clough such a big deal. winning 2 European Cups with Nottingham Forrest is like..... winning 2 world series with the Birmingham barons, or.... winning 2 super bowls with the Newark bears, or .... winning 2 NBA championships with the Delaware Blue Coats. He took minor league and G league players and turned them into world beating super stars. All while having the fastest wit and mouth in the country. A wit and mouth that brought him both glory and disasters. The typical flawed genius.
Michael Sheen has a gift for becoming real people, whether that's Cloughie here, David Frost in "Frost/Nixon" the previous year or Chris Tarrant in "Quiz" in 2020. In the last example, Tarrant's three year-old grandson saw the screen with Sheen on it and called out to his grandfather.
possibly not the greatest but certainly the funniest and most evocative scene thanks to the one and only Brian Glover. " Kes " was an exceptional film.
I've forgotten how good this movie is - and the actors are VERY familiar to me now. The cool thing is that some of these actors didn't have the physique of a modern football player - but neither did most players in the 1970s! Players like the legendary George Best, would easily knock back 14 pints after the game (legendary for both his football skills and his drinking skills)
Was surprised to see you guys watch this, didn't think you'd get much out of it but I'd forgotten just how brilliant the writing was. Beautifully structured; uses real life quotes and factual incidents alongside the imagined scenes and dialogue in a completely seamless way. The three central performances are excellent if you're not familiar with who they're based on and absolutely f***ing amazing if you are!
Great reaction, fellas, really appreciate your genuine enjoyment of both the movie and the passion that the game lends itself to millions of fans around the world. There some wonderful anecdotes about Clough on RUclips from his former players, who also do top impressions of the great man. They also reveal the excellent job Michael Sheen did insofar as it's really hard to not visualize him in all their stories. Green Street is an entirely different animal, but still a great movie!
Wow, after your Trainspotting videos, i did not expect to see this. I've not watched yet, but I'm absolutely fascinated what you'll make of it. The book is extraordinary. The man is a legend. Fact and fiction are easy to merge. Thanks guys. My next comment, will come after watching your reaction.
Excellent review guys. It's a universal sports story and an OG 70s "bromance" You can imagine the colossal hatred and spite, being between two baseball teams or "Football" teams. It's universal and special.
As an Englishman I found the discussion between the pair of you really interesting. You both really grasped the importance of this era to British football fans. By the way, you do get play offs now. 👍
MAJOR MOVIE MADNESS There are play-offs to get promoted. Teams that finish 3rd to 6th playoff to get promoted to the league above. Teams that finish 1st and 2nd go up automatically along with the play off winners. So 3 teams get promoted and replace the bottom 3 teams in the league above.
The 1974 Charity Shield is interesting, not just for the brawling between Billy Bremner and Kevin Keegan (or the confusion amongst players as the game concluded with a new fangled thing called a penalty shoot out), in the context of this film in that *both* teams had just lost the most successful managers that they had ever had. Don Revie left Leeds to become England manager and Bill Shankly retired as Liverpool manager. Both Revie and Shankly had been mangers for well over a decade, they had both taken their teams from a lower division to multiple league titles, an FA Cup, and European titles. At Leeds the replacement was an unmitigated disaster, but at Liverpool they gave the job to the team's introverted physio who went on to win more trophies than just about anyone in the history of the game...
Cloughie, “Ol, Bighead” as he was nicknamed worked miracles as a football manager. Created not one but two champion winning teams in Derby City in 1972 & Nottingham Forest in 1978. Neither had won the league before, neither where big clubs like Utd, Liverpool or Arsenal yet Cloughie, alongside his right hand man Peter Taylor (who was indispensable) did wonders and than with Forest won the holy grail trophy in club football, the European Cup twice in a row, 79 & 80.
i am from that era and to this day i cannot fathom why leeds were so dirty,they had bags of skill and yet always seemed to be looking for a fight. They won a few things however they were second a hell of a lot.
He is but also a Hypocrite. Saying only Welshman should play Welshman when he’s made a career out of being Englishmen. Hate hypocrites. But he is very talented.
Even now they are still known as Dirty Leeds Yes support a smaller team! I support Fulham we haven’t won anything ! We are back in the Premier League though. We do have some US players!
there is a play-off system in the leagues (where league promotion is the prize), top two teams are automatically promoted, the next four go into play off games for the third promotional place.
I remember those days when they played in those muddy conditions and remember well when the ball would stop dead in a puddle, even snow on the pitch and yes the tackles could be brutal and crowd tribal violence got teams banned playing in Europe .Then more and more money came into the game and so much changed including the money tv paid to clubs. I am a pragmatist and know that change is inevitable for good or bad depending on one's point of view . I think this film was well represented of the times.
You guys watching this feels like the reverse of me watching Moneyball, as a Brit I knew nothing about Baseball but it's a great movie and probably my favourite sports film, but this is pretty great too if not 100% historically accurate.
Love this film, football seemed a lot more exciting when you watch old clips from the 60's/70's. I like the idea of sports films, how about Slapshot? An absolute hoot of a film!
I love this film but wondered how it would hold up to non-UK viewers. Glad it still hits the right notes. Even for fans of other clubs, Brian Clough was special (before the end at least).
Derby fan here Dave Mackay actually ended up winning the English title again after Clough left But theres always a question of what wouldve happened at Derby had Clough and Taylor stayed Their job taking over forest ended up creating one of the fiercest rivalries in England between Derby and Forest Clough and Taylor had a major bust up while at forest with Taylor becoming the manager at Derby again some years later as others said in the comments Clough and Taylor would never speak again but their legacy at Derby and at forest still live today Nigel (Brians son) ended up playing for forest and then Nigel went onto manage Derby. Derby and Forest hate each other but the Clough and Taylor families will always be loved by both
“Champions League” is the highest level of club football, and involves all of the major clubs across the major European leagues, not just the English league. It is not to be confused with “The Championship”…which is the modern name for the second tier of English football. It was a lot less confusing when the top four divisions were simply Division 1, 2, 3 etc! The Champions League was formerly known as the European Cup…that is what it is referred to in the movie. In the 70s, only the champions of each domestic league competed in the European Cup. When a team was playing “in Europe”, that is meant to mean that they were playing in the European Cup, or one of the lesser European competitions (such as the now defunct Cup Winners Cup). Teams had to cram these games into their existing domestic schedule…so for instance Derby might play a league game against Leeds, and then have to fly to Madrid or somewhere a few days later to play in the Euro Cup. So for a club of Derby’s limited size, winning the league was also a bit of a problem as it meant extra games…
Love your reactions chaps Great you are looking at English football. Check out “ The Keeper”. The story of Manchester City’s goalkeeper in the 40’s until the 60’s Hollywood could not come up with a script that rivalled real life. Cheers you honourary brits!
Good Reaction Guys to a National Treasure, loved by, nearly, all fans. I have been to 1,770 matches and seen thousands more. A 38-game season, playing every other team, Home and Away, is enough to determine the true Champions. A Play-Off for the League Title is an awful idea and here's why. Last season we had an incredible late twist after Arsenal were 8 points clear and, as you know, City nicked it from them. They were both well clear of the 3rd team so none of that incredible finale would have happened by your method. Also, one team could be 15+ clear so worthy Champions and not actually be Champions. Neither Derby (1884) nor Nottingham Forest(1865) had won anything in their history before or since.
If I had my playoff it would be after top four is settled, as for Forrest which is at bottom of premiere right? And derby isn’t it a matter of money in football now? I hear that a lot from the announcers, who are usually all Brit’s. Ps I hate Americans announcing English football, just sounds wrong.
MAJOR MOVIE MADNESS it was Forests first season back in the Premier league last year for 23 years...we survived and pulled away from the bottom 3 teams so are still in the Premier league this season (we got promoted by winning the play-offs from the Championship).
If you're really serious about movie analysis (which you are, clearly), but especially when it comes to ground breaking British stuff, I'd like you to watch "Kes" (1969) - even if you decide not to produce a video about it. You'll struggle with the accents, I suspect, but you'll quickly understand why I mention Kes in the context of your review of this entertaining thing about the loon that was Cloughy. Hats off to Michael Sheen in this role, as in all his roles. I met him once, you know, at his home town railway station. I was there to pick up a new car. It was awkward at first (he was with his mum), but he was very nice once he realised I wasn't a total nutter. Taller than I'd imagined.
If you are interested in watching another Football/ Soccer film I would recommend United. It's set just after the Second World War and portrays some of Manchester United's history. I recommend watching the Film without doing any research.
The documentary I believe on miracles is a brilliant documentary about Clough and Taylor at Nottingham Forest The interviews with the players show what an amazing man manager he was and some of the stories are laugh out load funny
You should watch footage of the real Brian Clough to see how great Michael Sheen's performance was. The only thing that let this film down is how unlike the real players the Leeds United team were. Stephen Graham as Billy Bremner is hysterically wrong in every way. Because of that I find the film hard to watch. Billy Bremner, Allan Clarke, Johnny Giles, Peter Lorimer, Paul Madley, Terry Yorath and the inimitable Joe Jordan were all heroes of mine in the early seventies, and I didn't even support Ledds United. Football is ingrained into every British boy's blood and I'm amazed how well I remember everything.
Being that I was born with the disadvantage of not being English, I didn't have the childhood team like you did, my Childhood team was my High School Football Team, and the University Of South Carolina Gamecocks Football team, which was bigger than the Superbowl to me. In the 3 years I've been watching premiere league, what I love best is the fan loyalty and the atmosphere in the stands, I can't wait to see my first match.
@@majormoviemadness9927 When I was about 12, that would be about 1977 I went to Old Trafford (I bet you’ve heard of that). This was in the days that there weren’t seats behind the goals and fans were caged behind massive fences. Thousands and thousands of half naked men shouting and fighting. It was fucking scary. I saw very little, but when United scored the sound was immense. Now that would have been an experience for you. I suggest your first match would be somewhere like West Brom or Sunderland, older traditional grounds, but all clubs must have all seating these days. Even Derby are a good bet. Love your reactions. A couple of suggestions for you, Kes (incredible) and maybe Gregory’s Girl is a lot of fun. But Kes is a must see. Take care.
The Clough family were really angry about how Brian was portrayed in the book. David Peace took a lot of flack. Personally, I like his writing style. I have this book, 84, and the Red Riding books (The Red Riding series are excellent) I do think you have to allow for some dramatization, but when writing about a deceased person, especially someone as loved as Brian Clough it's going to be inevitable that people will get upset. That said, the casting in this movie is amazing. If you were to go back and look at the original footage from scenes in the film, you would see how good it is. Especially the TV interview with Don and Brian.
@@majormoviemadness9927UK slang for busy, bustling, full of life. If you say "I was in the pub last night and it was absolutely heaving" it means the place was packed and probably standing room only for example. Brighton has quite an active nightlife and as they said is kind of the centre of the UK's gay scene, a bit like San Francisco is I guess? It's other claim to fame is the DJ Fatboy Slim is from there and it has pretty big gigs and festivals on it's beach.
I'm a huge Brian Clough fan, they don't make 'em like him anymore he was a true eccentric. His achievements as a manager (when he succeeded) were truly remarkable. I wasn't a fan of this film, it felt like a cheap TV movie and I wasn't keen on the guy who played Clough. Clough had a lot more gumption. Don Revie was "allegedly" as corrupt as anything and I'm such that Cloughie was on to this back in the day.
Film is so innacurate it's virtually a work of fiction. Nobody depicted in the film has anything even remotely good to say about it. As for Clough... ruclips.net/video/d4_6hVPyKZw/видео.html
Do you know ANYTHING about Sport? This was about one of the greatest goalscorers in English history. An England International with 2 extraordinary Managerial achievements. Stick to Love Island mate.
The sad thing about this story is that Clough and Taylor fell out again years later and didn’t speak to each other ever again, Peter Taylor died before they could patch things up.
Martin Sheen did an incredible job portraying Brian Clough and the film was all based on real events.
@thecornedbeefcouncil9792 Martin Sheen also apparently did a god job playing the president in 'The West Wing'! 🤣

Excellent all round.

Dave Mackay actually ended up winning the English title again after Clough left
But theres always a question of what wouldve happened at Derby had Clough and Taylor stayed
Their job taking over forest ended up creating one of the fiercest rivalries in England between Derby and Forest
Clough and Taylor had a major bust up while at forest with Taylor becoming the manager at Derby again some years later

Listening to an American try and explain football is like listening to my dog trying to explain physics.

It's set just after the Second World War and portrays some of Manchester United's history.
I recommend watching the Film without doing any research.
To narrow down your search as there is many films about Manchester United. It's staring David Tennant and Jack O'Connell.
I'm not sure why i went to see this at the cinema (sooo not into footie) but it was a great film.
This'll be good.
That Play Off suggestion is the stupidest thing I've heard in a while 😂
Leeds vs Manchester goes back to the War of the Roses 1455, aka the derby of the Roses
Good choice!

I have this book, 84, and the Red Riding books (The Red Riding series are excellent) I do think you have to allow for some dramatization, but when writing about a deceased person, especially someone as loved as Brian Clough it's going to be inevitable that people will get upset. That said, the casting in this movie is amazing. If you were to go back and look at the original footage from scenes in the film, you would see how good it is. Especially the TV interview with Don and Brian.
Brighton is def not a retirement town!!!
Not now, but it was in the 70's
Brighton is very much not a sleepy town. Quite a different energy to most of the UK. It is the gay capital, and can be a pretty heaving seaside town.
Heaving?
@@majormoviemadness9927UK slang for busy, bustling, full of life. If you say "I was in the pub last night and it was absolutely heaving" it means the place was packed and probably standing room only for example.
Brighton has quite an active nightlife and as they said is kind of the centre of the UK's gay scene, a bit like San Francisco is I guess? It's other claim to fame is the DJ Fatboy Slim is from there and it has pretty big gigs and festivals on it's beach.
Don’t forget that Quadrophenia is mostly set in Brighton So it’s on the cinematic map.
Brighton is just the best place.
And nowadays brighton eat leeds for breakfast, sweet justice 😉 uta
Every club in England has had ups and downs. Man U between Busby and Fergie. Liverpool went 30 years without a title. Sport is cyclical. No doubt.
Sad thing is while the movie is very entertaining , a lot of it is completely made up by the author of the book , Johnny Giles sued and won
I'm a huge Brian Clough fan, they don't make 'em like him anymore he was a true eccentric. His achievements as a manager (when he succeeded) were truly remarkable. I wasn't a fan of this film, it felt like a cheap TV movie and I wasn't keen on the guy who played Clough. Clough had a lot more gumption. Don Revie was "allegedly" as corrupt as anything and I'm such that Cloughie was on to this back in the day.
Film is so innacurate it's virtually a work of fiction. Nobody depicted in the film has anything even remotely good to say about it. As for Clough... ruclips.net/video/d4_6hVPyKZw/видео.html
Why would you watch this twaddle thats not worth watching
why would you comment this comment thats not worth commenting.
Do you know ANYTHING about Sport? This was about one of the greatest goalscorers in English history. An England International with 2 extraordinary Managerial achievements.
Stick to Love Island mate.
Should change the channel name to MAJOR HASN'T SEEN ANYTHING
That’s a given, but you can’t blame him for this one
@@majormoviemadness9927 Of course, this one is definitely an exception
