This is a fresh and intelligent telling of the story of a month and a half in the life of Brian Clough, the egomaniacal football manager and self-proclaimed genius who, in 1974, found himself at the heart of a club he despised: Leeds United.

Sheen gives a cracking performance as Clough, resplendent but lonely at the centre of this human drama which concentrates more on action off the pitch than on.

Questions are raised, namely: did Clough want to destroy Dirty Leeds from within? Or did this strange and complex man, somehow want to destroy himself?

A hugely enjoyable film whether you’re a football fan or not.
