The Damned United: A Review
Dirty, dirty Leeds. Dirty fucking Leeds. After reading David Peace's novel The Damned UTD these
words cycled through my head for days. They work as an obsessive refrain in David Peace's account
of Brian Clough's infamous 44 days as the manager of (dirty, dirty) Leeds.
I knew nothing about Clough, Leeds, and this bizarre story before reading Peace's novel - that I
enjoyed the book, and felt as if Clough himself, in all his puerile genius, had wormed his way into
my head is as good a testimony as I can give to the intensity and distinctiveness of Peace's
writing.
