Damned United

...for those of us that were there (in the 70's of Dirty Leeds) at the time it is very illuminating and is very much of the period!
 
It definitely picks up the vibe of the time, but don't think it's a documentary, is fiction and should be treated as such

I think Clough's family were disgusted at how his character was portrayed ....as you say pure fiction.
 
They were, I was living in Derby at the time, Clough is a legend there. The book and film were regular pub chat, not long after he passed either, the book was viewed as a cash-in on a great name
