Brian Clough makes a good impression with the players, on his first day as new manager of Leeds United.

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.

    Great clip from a great film of a great manager. Ah, the mighty Leeds Utd - that seemingly 'Unbeatable' team, that was beaten in the European Cup Semi final 'Battle of Britain' by.....Celtic!

    Still holds the record of the highest ever attendance for a UEFA competition match to this day - 136,505!!

    I'm pretty sure he was calling Leeds Utd the unbeatable team, who got beaten by Celtic in the Semis.

    Never heard Celtic labeled unbeatable.

    A lot of things like, but never "Unbeatable."
