The top mistakes in The Damned United http://www.moviemistakes.com/film7978 en Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:55:39 +0000 147634 Towards the end of the film when Brian Clough goes to see Peter Taylor at his house in Brighton, there is a 'Pay & Display' ticket machine visible in the car park in the background. The film-makers have done a good job at placing period vehicles in shot but seem to have forgotten the shiny black new (solar powered?) ticket machine. 147767 In the scene where Brian Clough is getting the Baseball Ground read for the arrival of Leeds United in the third round of the FA Cup in 1968, you can see the snorting Ram logo over one of the entrances. This logo was not introduced until the 1971-72 season. 147783 The East Stand at Elland Road is visible in the tunnel shot when Clough confronts the players - the stand was not built until 1992. 147779 The police officers shown at the Baseball Ground are wearing the wrong helmets. Derby County & County Borough Constabulary officers wore the coxcomb, not the Metropolitan Police rose top style. 154455 Brian Clough did manage Brighton & Hove Albion, contrary to what the narrator states at the end of the film. He managed the club alongside Peter Taylor for most of the 1973-4 season. The team finished 19th this season.
