Clough Vs. Revie

Last updated : 28 March 2009 By Kevin Markey

As David Peace's blockbuster tale of Brian Clough's 44 days at Leeds, The Damned United hits the big Screen; Waterstone's offers you the ultimate home and away fixture.

An opportunity to join in the great debate, just who was the greatest English manager?

Brian Clough or Don Revie.


Duncan Hamilton, author of Provided you don't Kiss me: 20 years with Brian Clough will be in the Clough corner and will be liberally scattering many Cloughisms from his new book Old' Big 'Ead- the Wit and Wisdom of Brian Clough.

Representing Don Revie is Guardian columnist Rob Bagchi who's The Unforgiven- the story of Don Revie's Leeds Utd is re-released this month.


Both authors will get a chance to play to a home crowd as they'll be appearing at Waterstone's in Nottingham on the 2nd of April and Waterstone's Leeds on the 16th


A must for fans of Forest, Leeds and Football, Duncan and Rob will reveal the real men behind Peace's novel and we're sure they'll have an opinion on whether the actors Michael Sheen and Colm Meaney have successfully managed to capture and portray two of the biggest characters ever to emerge from English football management.
