When Don Revie took over this club; Leeds were a rugby league town. No interest in football. Gates under 10;000. Wed never won a thing. He built one of the great clubs of English football; one of the great teams of English football; from scratch on barren ground from nothing more than spirit and fight and nous; which are the exact same qualities you used at Derby. And out of jealousy; you never tried to understand that. Never tried to make the most of that. Sad. 1974. Brian Clough; the enfant terrible of British football; tries to redeem his managerial career and reputation by winning the European Cup with his new team; Leeds United. The team he has openly despised for years; the team he hates and that hates him. Don Revies Leeds.A West Yorkshire Playhouse and Red Ladder Theatre Company co-production; adapted from David Peaces ingenious and much-lauded novel; which was subsequently made into a film starring Michael Sheen; The Damned United takes you inside the tortured mind of a genius slamming up against his limits; and brings to life the beauty and brutality of football; the working mans ballet.Anders Lustgartens stage adaptation of David Peaces novel received its world premiere at the West Yorkshire Playhouse on 3 March 2016.
