The Damned United
A charismatic yet abrasive manager takes over a fiercely physical football club, determined to impose his vision before his tenure—and reputation—are shattered by relentless player rebellion and personal vendettas.
“They love me for what I'm not... ...they hate me for what I am.”
Synopsis
Brian Clough's takeover of Leeds United is marked by his abrasive demeanor and his evident distaste for the players' physical style of play, leading to inevitable friction. Insights into his earlier career shed light on his animosity toward former manager Don Revie and highlight his strong reliance on his long-time assistant, Peter Taylor.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 20
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
