The Damned UTD - David Peace








David Peace

About the Book
In 1974 the brilliant and controversial Brian Clough made perhaps his most eccentric decision: he accepted the Leeds United Manager’s job. As successor to Don Revie, his bitter adversary, he was to last only forty-four days. David Peace takes us into the mind and thoughts of Ol’ Big ‘Ead himself, and brings vividly to life one of post-war Britain’s most complex and fascinating characters.

What we think:'It is a rare thing to capture the beautiful game so brilliantly on paper as Peace has done. Perfectly demonstrating that truth is stranger than fiction, Peace's take on Clough's 44 days is mesmerising an unputdownable as you follow the rise and fall of his tragic anti-hero.'
