The Damned United by David Peace
Compelling stuff, gets inside the mind of Clough brilliantly but just utterly dispiriting at the end. Frighteningly believable descriptions of life at Elland Road during the mad 44 days of Clough’s tenure combined with flashbacks to days at Hartlepools [sic], Derby and Brighton leave you with the impression that football in the 1970s was overwhelmingly corrupt and organised in an utterly amateurish way. So, bit of a weepy really.
