Director: Tom HooperWriter: Peter Morgan, David PeaceStars: Colm Meaney, Henry Goodman, David RoperSummary: Taking over England's top football club Leeds United, previously successful manager Brian Clough's abrasive approach and his clear dislike of the players' dirty style of play make it certain there is going to be friction.
