I did like watching The Damned United as Michael Sheen is a good actor (although I find it hard with Timothy Spall to see him as anything other than Barry Taylor from Auf Wiedersehen, Pet). I've watched it a few times. I knew there was a bit of poetic licence and dramatisation but I had not appreciated how much until reading the debate on here from earlier today. I was confused by the way he apparently did not take up the Brighton job before going to Leeds when Dave Bassett, Dave Donaldson, Billy Edwards and Willie Smith (all who went on to play for WFC) were all part of the Walton and Hersham side, managed by Allen Batsford, that thumped Brighton 4-0 at the Goldstone Ground in December 1973, with Clough as their manager [
