Drama charting a tempestuous period in football manager Brian Clough’s professional life during the 1974 season, when he leaves behind Derby County to succeed the formidable Don Revie as manager of Division 1 champions, Leeds United. En route to Elland Road, Brian gives an impromptu interview to Yorkshire Television in which he openly criticizes Revie’s tactics, allowing the players to cheat their way to each victory. His words cause consternation in and out of the dressing room, where Brian clashes with senior squad members including Billy Bremner, Johnny Giles and Norman Hunter. With the smell of revolt in the air, Brian turns to good friend Peter Taylor for guidance.
