The Damned Utd

Zusatztext

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 fourty-four days. In one of the most acclaimed novels of this or any other year, David Peace takes un 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.
