Back in 1970s, before the Premiership, Sky TV and WAGS came to characterise the beautiful game, football managers were almost exclusively gruff Northerners who smoked 60 a day and avoided publicity like the plague. That is part from Brian Clough, perhaps the most charismatic, media-savvy and complex manager to have graced the sport. The film tells the story of the most bizarre spell of his otherwise illustrious career, but for those not up on their 70s football, here's our frankly indispensible visual guide to The Damned United.

blattman writes: on Mar 28 2009 08:53 PM In reply to this comment (#2398464) That's a pretty narrow opinion. Have you seen a Peter Sellers movie? Trainspotting? Perhaps something recent, um Slumdog Millionaire? I haven't even scratched the surface. Give some a chance, you might be pleasently surprised. (Reply to this) |

And it's "their" 70's football, not "there". Sorry...I'm an English language nerd, and it just galls me to death, coming on to a professional site like this, and reading news articles with misspellings, and finding the writer doesn't know the difference between "their", "there" and "they're". The English language is a beautiful thing, when you don't molest it up against the wall in a dark alleyway. (Reply to this) |
