Plot
Having taken lowly Derby County to the league championship, the brilliant but mercurial Brian Clough (Sheen) is offered the chance to manage glorious Leeds United — the club he despised. But then, he was never one to make the wise choice…

Verdict
Sheen thrives in the guise of the idiosyncratic Clough in a brilliantly candid, if bitty, football parable.
