It's very surreal to watch your late father and hero depicted on the big screen.
The film has been largely and widely commented upon, the only problem being that the comments have come from people who never knew my father and, come to that, Brian Clough either.
Let me say from the outset that Michael Sheen, who plays Clough, and Colm Meaney, who plays my father, both look very similar to the two managers and give excellent performances.
However, it is the substance of what they have been given to say and the factual inaccuracy of the film that belies its claim to be 'a true story'.
When this was taken up with the writer, producer and director, they excused themselves on the grounds of 'artistic license'.
To suggest, for instance, that my father would ever snub anybody and refuse to shake hands is a nonsense.
I have many personal warm memories of Brian Clough and I never fully understood what turned him from an ardent discipleinto an arch enemy of my dad.
My dad didn't understand either! The film portrays my dad as some haughty, humourless, stand-offish big shot.
It is quite the opposite of the warm, caring, funny and brilliant man that he was. Ask the players he coached, ask the ladies in the laundry and tea room at Elland Road.
In fact, ask anyone who actually knew him! For all that, the film is a good watch and brings back those very different football days.
A true story it is not. Faction it is not. Fiction is what it is, with a sprinkling of real names.
