- The Damned United is in UK cinemas from March 27th 2009.
From the best-selling and critically acclaimed novel by David Peace, The Damned United is directed by Tom Hooper and stars Michael Sheen as the legendary, opinionated football manager Brian Clough, with Timothy Spall as his right hand man, only friend, and crutch Peter Taylor.
Set in 1960s and 1970s England, THE DAMNED UNITED tells the confrontational and darkly humorous story of Brian Cloughs doomed 44 day tenure as manager of the reigning champions of English football Leeds United. Previously managed by his bitter rival Don Revie (Colm Meaney), and on the back of their most successful period ever as a football club, Leeds had an aggressive and cynical style of football - an anathema to the principled yet flamboyant Brian Clough, who had achieved astonishing success as manager of Hartlepool and Derby County building teams in his own vision with trusty lieutenant Peter Taylor. Taking the Leeds job without Taylor by his side, with a changing room full of Dons boys, would lead to an unheralded examination of Cloughs belligerence and brilliance over 44 days. This is that story. The story of The Damned United. Jim Broadbent plays Sam Longson, Derby Chairman. THE DAMNED UNITED was filmed in locations throughout Yorkshire, Leeds, Derbyshire and Spain.
Micheal Sheen absolutely nailed Cloughy in this film. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a actor get a character as spot on.
Outstanding actor.
I think clough was a more aggresive than presented in the film
Vidianos Drossos what is this based off?
jarraandyftm agreeed
Even Allan Clarke said when he closed his eyes during the film? That it was uncanny
The supporters of Derby County sing his name still at every game and that is after 40 years. Now that is what a true Idol looks like.
RIP Brian Clough " The best manager England never had" !!!
That's because Derby have have been shit since lol
@Tom Hallam forest literally won 2 European cups with Brian clough after leaving Derby what's wrong with you
He was a great leader ,icon ..Amazing character.. Respect ..Liverpool fan
@@xlbubblehead2505 Sad to see what's been done to your Country. They're in the process of doing the same to mine
@@cockoffgewgle4993 I don't think we've been shit lol. Still got another league title after Clough, a few stints in Europe and ended up doing pretty well in the Premiership throughout the mid '90s to the early 2000s.
To those who may not know...Brian Clough is and was adored by both Nottingham Forest AND Derby County fans. That is massive, for two huge rivals to revere a man who crossed the divide is incredible.
Here at Sheffield United we have the same with Derek Dooley, loved by us and 'them' in the North of the city.
Not many can cross the divide and be loved by both.
It goes deeper than that. The A52 is the main road connecting Derby and Nottingham.
It was renamed ‘Brian Clough Way’. The one thing that to this day connects the two cities.
Same with Julio arca and Middlesbrough/Sunderland. We put our rivalry aside and cheer the legend when he returns.
YOU'RE forgetting Peter Taylor!
The supporters of Nottingham Forest will never forget this man. Ever.
Ender Ragnarok I bet Leeds won't either lol
Michael Sheen?
Ender Ragnarok I loved it when the Forest fans came on the pitch early celebrating and he whacked them around the ear lol
The one thing that unites Derby and Forest. Even when you were winning European Cups I couldn’t hate you for it, because Cloughie deserved it. He would have won another with us had their not been some “interesting” things gone on in the Juventus game.
Derby aswell
Amazing he even makes the whole crowd outside all be quiet before he speaks.
The level of control and respect he has from his players is on a whole different level to any other manager.
This is one of my favourite scenes in any film I've ever seen. It's flawless. From everyone. I can't watch it enough.
What I love most is he just nods to his captain. He doesn't need to tell him what to do, he already knows.
Mackay? Yeah, probably didn’t need a lot of talking.
@@Vars010 Mackay was one of the best football brains at that time. Tough as nails sweeper and defender. Not at the level of Beckenbauer, but not a million miles off either.
@@nathanwilliams2152 Very good and managed Derby to the title in '75
i remember when cloughie and i had a long chat when he was manager at brighton, it was after the game, and went like this "young man, which way to the train station"? "down there, turn left" quality, i was still shaking when i got home an hour later , lol.
beval7591 this story moved me to tears, it's moments like this that make him a legend of the game
Haha falmer station
@@bencutler5721 What a fucking terrific story eh? Imagine that happening!
Ben Cutler errr no lol
Ramjet164 what?
Michael Sheen practically channels Brian Clough in this film. His acting is incredible.
such an amazing portrayal, had Cloughie to a tee, and what a Revie lookylike too! great film, i'll return to it over and over
That's what you call a team talk!
Psyched UP
Saw this movie last week. Have been making my way through some Michael Sheen works. Loved it very much. It was very entertaining and well acted. Made me want to catch a football match (or soccer as Americans, such as myself, call it).
This film make me realise how important Scottish players were back then
All British and European attendance records are at Hampden park Glasgow.For such a small country that is amazing. Scotland is the where the game was forged in the white hot crucible of the Industrial revolution.
Griffiths takes agaiiinnnnnn
The Scottish players of that era were brilliant.
Majority of footballers are fannies now so not as much need for steel
@@Bighandsdown like Dave Mckay Billy Bremner or Sourness. Lovley footballers but you had to be hard as nails to be the full package in those days.
He won the European Cup twice in sucession , he is the bloody best manager England never had !
Michael Sheen is great.
Great movie, history, cast.
It's mostly bullshit
@@darrenreid5409 Unlike your comment, which is total bullshit
@@moptopbaku6022 it's true.
Mostly made up to make Clough look bad.
Daz 72 They can try all they want. He was and always will be a total legend as far as I am concerned
@@moptopbaku6022 i agree
We had a minutes silence at Man City that was broken up by the majority of the crowd chanting 'Cloughie for England '
Excellent casting, Timothy Spall is one of my favourites.
YES.
AS the shrewd & sharp Peter Taylor; he made Cloughie better!
@@B1Gdipper He's a brilliant actor but was mis cast in this. Looks nothing like Peter Taylor, was eight inches too short and too hefty. Taylor should have been played by Peter Vaughn, Big Grouty from Porridge.
Michael Sheen doesn't have to look like a person to capture their essence perfectly.
I have watched this clip about 20 times now. Amazing scene. Brilliant acting.
Billy Brenmer -The worlds greatest midfeilder of his generation was a heavy smoker - it no doubt contributed to his early death RIP
The only time I thought Michael Sheen wasn't that impressive, is when he was on Graham Norton as Himself !!! Great Actor
My grandfather tells me all about Brian Clough time at derby county he idolised the man. They mourned when he left for months never be a another
Filmed in the old Chesterfield FC ground. This film is great on its own but also great to look back on for Chesterfield fans
Sir Brian Clough!!! What a legend!!! DCFC FOREVER!!!!
Clough was something else, even opposition players were in awe of him
Clough was a great man
One of the best acting performances in one of the best sporting films, ever.
I lost it at 1:55 when he said "Come on!"
Brilliant film. One of my all time faves. Fantastic cast, love it. X
Clough is so inspirational
That Derby top.
Simple, brilliant.
The scenes in this film from this stadium was filmed in my home town Chesterfield and it’s Chesterfields old ground Saltergate. I miss going there ❤
Back in those days, the top English (and obviously Scottish) clubs were full of great Scottish players, and often managers too. Start with Busby, Shankly and Stein, and go down the list. Nowadays we're crap.
Why do you think that is? Could it be because football in those days allowed for more physicality and 'bullying' as he put it in the clip, especially down the centre of the pitch, which is what we're quite good at? Whereas in terms of athleticism, diet and conditioning we're not culturally accustomed to it and the game has become more about flair and tactic and sports science?
@@Streetwalkeriain So you think all those great coaches, players and teams were just 'physical bullies' ? Law, Baxter, Johnston, Dalglish, Cooper and so on had no skill and flair ? Busby's ManU, Shankly's Liverpool and Stein's Celtic didn't impress us with beautiful football ? I'd say they all had quality in abundance, and proved it.
@ Yes, he probably did, but I'm only speaking about him as a manager. I'm a Gers man born and bred, but give credit where it's due. The first nine in a row and Lisbon 67 were great achievements.
@ PS I did mention Jim Baxter and Davie Cooper you might notice.
Bremner too
The problem with football now is it's so expensive and has lost roots in the local community to some extent. I remember following my team in the late 1960s and early 70s and travelling to away games also including seeing Derby County, but my nephew could not even afford to attend all of the home games with his son.
This is me just noticing Martin compston is in this 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Greatest manager in English football history. Yes yes I know others won more, and it’s not denying the ability of people like Ferguson, Paisley etc. But Clough did it with two relatively small clubs. No other manager did that - and none could have.
He beat an even smaller club than forest or derby in one cup final, malmo! Not in Fergusons league, done at Aberdeen and United for twenty odd years
Paul Liddon It’s a great debate isn’t it? Yes, Ferguson’s achievements at Aberdeen are often forgotten.
Don't forget he had a brilliant assistant manager to help him achieve everything they did at Nottingham forest, I'm not sure if he was with Brian clough at Derby county though.
Deang Gibbons He was indeed - Peter Taylor was an unsung genius.
Taylor found the talent. Clough moulded it
1.19 lol! love that bit. great footie movie aswell.
e Williams He channels Paddy Considine from Dead Man's Shoes at that point.
Lol, the cigs and tea cups, great pregame relics of the pass
The stories you hear of Clough. I don’t think they could of got a better person then Sheen to portray him. As he has a flamboyants to him. But also has a kind energy to him. We know Clough for his wackiness and taking egos down a peg or 2. But he would also always build players confidence if they felt low. Obviously he was a tremendous manager. But the way he was as a person is more intriguing to me.
You notice how all of them fear him to some degree, that’s what football is missing now.
That moment when you realise DS John Corbett and DI Steve Arnott were on playing against each other in this match.
Legend played brilliantly well.
sheen absolutely nails cloughie here.....brilliant portrayal
That's why , he is a legend ❤
I love the fact they have cups of tea👍🏻
Was looking for this comment.....it would be a bottle of evian now
They used to smoke as well up until the late 60s. I think it was Celtic who stopped it in the changing rooms firstly, then word spread and most British teams stopped.
probably a bit of whisky in to calm the nerves.
@@csb7376 There was a scene in the original cut of the film where Brian Clough handed out spirits before the game to calm everyone's nerves. It did happen.
@@SirViette I know, Jimmy Greaves said a lot of Tottenham players did the same thing.
Brilliant film
Great scene for a great man...
How many Scot’s were in that squad?
Looks like him and sounds like him..brill acting.
So you're blind as well as deaf? That's good to know.
@philmitchell91 🔔 end
There is only one ever Brian Clough 💯
" Flatten Paul Madeley " haha! ...did anyone hear anything so ridiculous. RIP
Paul the most honest, trusted and loyal servant of the club that any team could wish for
I miss the Baseball Ground!😢🐏
(AGAINST MODERN ⚽ 110%)
At the time of him getting the sack from Leeds, he was one of the best manger's of his era. I think in some ways, that someone will disagree with me. It they stuck with him in time Leeds would of lifted the European cup.
Half a manager without Peter Taylor.
@@jpa221 yes you are right in what you have said, he was his right hand man that's for sure.
We almost did a win European cup until we got cheated out of it in the final because the referee was bribed by the Bayern Munich officials.
@@AdamD24899 yes that's right. At the time we couldn't see it on the TV only listen on the radio. Peter Lorimer scored a goal but was disallowed. The rest is history. Yes I totally agree in what you have said.
Excellent piece of English culture / Cinema.
Sorry mourinio the original special one was Brian Clough Uber allez
Still a class film
Good motivation
You would be very surprised what players did,up to the 1980's it happened.I new a player that had a few pints on a Friday night,played Saturday and scored a few goals
james bolem Jamie vardy?
@@kob6912 Tony Kellow in the early 1980's
My uncle played top flight in the 1970s and tells me players met in the Players' Bar Saturday lunchtime, and some would have a pint.
@@stevenhodgson834 Wow! A whole pint? That's scandalous!!! Has your uncle got any more riveting tales like that?
@@CB-xr1eg Yeah.
00:20 behind Peter Taylor, the man in the red jacket? Who is he? He's in the entire movie.
Jimmy Gordon first team coach at Derby and Forest and was Cloughs Assistant at Leeds.
@@jogee1546 woah, so there was another guy apart from Peter Taylor?
My favourite movie about my favourite human being ❤ 1:20 🤣🤣🤣
I was a manager once, not sports, business. Never EVER will i manage people again. EVER. Just dealing with crap all the time. So glad i left to work on my own. Never ever going back to management. EVER.
Chants in the background sound a bit modern compared to the 70's
Love this movie! Michael Sheen knows he played Brian Clough! And,also I would like to say DONT diss North American football, and dont call Americans stupid, because all of us are not! Lastly, Ive actually been to a North London Derby before so im quite aware how the game works, thank you!
Cute
You are, you voted for Trump, now go and put your gay shoulder pads on and sulk during your national anthem.
Better Clip than anything in "Mike Bassett: England Manager".?
Quality film
Sometimes you just don't need a long and pretty motivational speech!
Sir Alex’s “it’s only Tottenham “ still makes me chuckle in bewilderment.
@@CronoXpono Roy Keane said that no?
@@Justwatching-yc1sg yep. The set up is gorgeous. He’s literally waiting for some long speech and then SAF busts that shit and keeps on trucking 😂 fucking glorious
@@CronoXpono I can’t find the vid,is there a video from it I always hear the great story but I’d love to see it haha
Name a movie I love
Filmed at Saltergate 🙂
Who is it supposed to be, the player he is talking to starting around 1:30, John McGovern?
Chilling . Know what your job is today? You've worked hard ... this week
Clough is here Behave!
1:21 that is so funny
Harry Enfield is a bit too old for the role, it's Brian McCardie.
Wow. Just wow.
what was the score in that match?
Now that’s a way to get your players fired up.
If I was in there I would have full on quit my life the moment he walked in
Why was he in his office during the game? Suspension?
at last an intelligent comment Laurel and Hardy theme tune as far as i know
Is it true like in the film that he didn't watch this match and just sat in his office?
01:45 - Bloody hell thats martin compston!
No that’s not him, Compston is the fella he was telling to flatten Paul Madeley
do they still sell those jerseys? i want one! lol
you rams!
Wherever Don Revie is, he managed to dislike this video :)
He is not the only one, he asks Johnny Giles, Billy Bremmer and the Leeds United fans to dislike!
@@alexandrebertrand-lafleur3114 And we duly oblige.
Why did cloughie hate Don Revie and Leeds so much ?
@@deanggibbons8999 their brand of anti-football, obviously
@@stuvvi Fuck off idot. anti-football my arse. You can find plenty of videos on here where Leeds are playing great football. Look at the one where they destroyed man utd 5-1 or Southampton 7-0. Just 2 examples. You probably won't though because you're anti Leeds and a hater.
Just young men getting ready to go to war is all I see
Come on you Rams!
❤️
my freinds dad got headbutted by brian clough once, he thought that my freinds dad was shooting the players with his air rifle but he was just shooting the pigeons lol he was more worried about losing his air rifle when he was running away from him
We need this in smell-o-vision... On second thoughts, maybe not
By god did leeds miss a tisk. Revie toldthem they owned the world, clough would have made it theirs.
Greatest manager ever
One of the greatest ever, Don Revie was the first of the greatest
Be big be strong first chance I get flatten Paul fucking Madely!!! 😂😂
1.22 Mr Bean
If you don't like it, don't watch it and how can you compare football(soccer) to american football?
Just a nod to the old pro
Be big be strong, first chance I get flatten Paul f***ing Madely !!!
Dyou know what your job is today?
Come On!!
@davidjamessheets well you could say the same about rugby couldn't u? im not a massive rugby fan but at least its free flowing, the 1 thing that annoys me the most about nfl is its too start stop theres no free flow about it ok i see some boring football games but its mostly free flowing. also why i love football and my football team is becuase it a club, its central to our community it represents us, when i hear the words sports francise it sends a shudder down my spine
