The Damned Utd

An extraordinarily inventive novel following Brian Clough's reign as manager of Leeds United in the 1970s. Home to a generation of competitive but ageing players, the battle he faces would make or break the club - or him. The turmoil of the game's most charismatic and controversial manager is painted with a lyrical sensibility. 'The boy done brilliant.' "The Guardian".
