The South Bank Show ITV1 10-50.
An examination of the football novel by David Peace which follows the fortunes of Brian Clough who suceeded Don Reeve as manager of Leeds United in1974.
Should be a good view.

I went on about this a year ago when I read it and none of you buggers replied.
Tremendous novel and yes it does mention Pools but its about Cloughie managing Leeds so it only mentions pools as a short lead up to everything that happened next.
A wonderful read for anyone interested in novels and football. I can hardly imagine a better football book being written in the past or the future.
