Corrected entry: At the end of the movie it says Clough went on to win 2 European cups, "a feat no British manager has achieved since". This is incorrect as Alex Ferguson had won 2 prior to the film's release.
The Damned United (2009)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Tom Hooper
Starring: Colm Meaney, Henry Goodman, David Roper, Jimmy Reddington
Factual error: We see a caption saying "Leeds 0 Luton 1." In reality, that match was a tie game.
Brian Clough: I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the country. But I'm in the top one.

Correction: The end says he went on to win the European Cup in 1979 and again in 1980. It is the feat of winning back to back cups that has never been done by a British manager since 1980. It wasn't about the number of cup wins, since Bob Paisley ended up winning his 3rd Cup in 1981, having previous won back to back Cups in 77/78.
