Michael Sheen is Brian Clough in The Damned United trailer

By Anthony Pearson Jan 28, 2009, 2:09 GMT

We have added the first look trailer to the upcoming British football comedy drama 'The Damned United'. The film stars Michael Sheen, Jim Broadbent, Timothy Spall and Colm Meaney.

Watch the trailer on M&C here.From the best-selling and critically acclaimed novel by David Peace, The Damned United is directed by Tom Hooper and stars Michael Sheen as the legendary, opinionated football manager Brian Clough, with Timothy Spall as his right hand man, only friend, and crutch Peter Taylor. Set in 1960’s and 1970’s England, The Damned United tells the confrontational and darkly humorous story of Brian Clough’s doomed 44-day tenure as manager of the reigning champions of English football Leeds United. Previously managed by his bitter rival Don Revie (Colm Meaney), and on the back of their most successful period ever as a football club, Leeds had an aggressive and cynical style of football – an anathema to the principled yet flamboyant Brian Clough, who had achieved astonishing success as manager of Hartlepool and Derby County building teams in his own vision with trusty lieutenant Peter Taylor.
