Damn Team

"They love me for someone I'm not. They hate me for who I am."

David Peace, the successful representative of contemporary English literature, tells the story of his short managerial adventure at Leeds United through the eyes of Brian Clough, one of the most interesting characters of the football world, not only with his achievements but also with his personality traits. Clough's football memories, which ended with a tragic injury, his years at Derby County, where his star shined, and the 44 cursed days he spent in the shadow of his predecessor Don Revie, who left Leeds, come to life again with Peace's pen.

In the Damn Team. Peace, who wanders inside Clough's head during the 44 days he spent at Leeds United, includes this legendary figure of the football world among the novel characters worth remembering. Damn Team, which was also made into a movie, is not the usual "bottom to top" success story, nor does it contain the clichés of "team spirit, heroism and victory". Competition, ambition, hatred, friendships and their breakdowns, factionalism, market rules and bargaining, locker rooms, team buses, hypocrisies, disappointments, the dirty face of the sports world... come together in an impressive and unique way.
