I think the documentary after is new, although of course the nature of such a programme means there will be plenty you have seen before.

The BBC links mentions contributions from MON, I wonder if he will mention about being left out a European Cup Final. It must still rankle.

From Wikipedia:-
In an interview with (Pat) Murphy, Martin O'Neill stated that he had noticed an obvious error:The film implies that Dave Mackay was still a Derby County player when Clough resigned as Derby manager in 1973. In fact, Mackay had left Derby in 1971 to become player-manager of Swindon Town, and later manager of Nottingham Forest. O'Neill's quote however is debatable as the film clearly states that Mackay was signed in 1968 by Derby County, and also has Clough yearn in 1973 that he gave Mackay two years as a player, clearly insinuating that Mackay had been released at least three years prior to his appointment as manager.
O'Neill also questioned the portrayal of the relationship between Clough and Peter Taylor. He praised the performance of the actors, however, particularly that of Michael Sheen as Clough.

What?! is he bleedin' Barry Norman now?

Fantastic movie and the finest football film ever.

I wouldn't say it's the finest football film ever, but it is in the top one.

Never seen this before.

I think it's been brilliant so far. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

It's an age old tale of good against evil, as Clough see's it anyway.

It also shows the enormous East Stand at Elland Road. Built in the 90's.

Great film though.

Yeah I picked up on that too. Also, shows 'Brighton Pier' which has only been the name of the Palace Pier since circa 2000. Still, minor quibbles.

OMG!

And look who's popped up on this Cloughie documentary just started on BBC2?

*scream*

He's so swoony!!!

[SoccerHQ]

The other documentary was on ITV a couple of times.

Really good film. Liked it when Clough went on his knees and apologised to Taylor!

[Matt C]

I'm sure there's a bit of artistic licence used there but a great film and Sheen is brilliant.

There were a few howlers - security camera at the baseball ground and a modern packet of crisps but I thouroughly enjoyed it.

Have you ever seen Withnail and I? One of my favourite films, but surely the worst film ever for historical howlers.

A decent portion of it is spent travelling by car along the M25. In 1969.

And a shot of the 'new' stand at Leeds when Clough was stood in the tunnel when of course that side of the ground never looked like that at all. Fond memories of our visits there post 1975, as that is where they used to put the away fans in the 70s, down that side of the pitch

read a few of david peaces books where he takes a story that actually happened and inserts a story into the thread which is totally fictional! I am not sure yet after 5 books whether this is real clever or a bit of a cop out. Watch the film but do not treat it as gospel, i cannot imagine cloughie getting on his knees to anyone!

Nor were Leeds ever quite as dirty as is portrayed though they could dish it out on occasions. They also played some superb football, which is never remembered and particularly since The Damned United surfaced. On their day, Giles, Eddie Gray, Lorimer, Jones, Madeley and Clarke were sublime...
