Review of The Damned United (2009) by Shawn W — 27 Nov 2013
I had never heard of this film but decided to watch it over a couple of other good films on a plane ride home. I'm glad I did. This one details how Managers Brian Clough and Peter Taylor led long-moribund second-division soccer club Derby County to unlikely English champions before Clough jumped to arch rival Leeds United for an ill-fated 44 day tenure only to reunite with Taylor and repeat the success with another down and out second division club, Nottinham Forest.
Fascinating story. I'm not a fan of English soccer but this film definitely scored.
