The Damned United Page #3

What a joker.

Come on, Kev,

keep on your man. Pass it!

Yeah, yeah, again. Again.

You know,

he'll be making a file on us.

A dossier.

-Who?

-Don Revie.

Prepares a file on every game.

Leaves nothing to chance.

Knows every opponent's formations,

strategies, everything.

I've heard he's a superstitious twat.

We grew up just a few streets apart

in Middlesbrough...

...close to Ayresome Park.

He'll have known my street,

Valley Road.

Probably bought sweets from Garnett's

factory where me dad worked.

I heard he wears the same suit

to every game.

His lucky blue suit.

Best manager in the country,

Don Revie.

Played for Sunderland, like me.

A centre forward like me.

-And England like me.

-Give it and go!

Peas in a pod, me and Don.

Two peas in a bloody pod.

Right, you saw that?

That's the way you do it!

They're here.

Well, almost.

Pass it!

Move!

I want Billy to sign

my autograph book.

What are they doing?

Ran out of petrol, boss.

No.

lt's that superstition, ain't it?

Every away Cup tie...

...Revie makes them walk

the last hundred yards.

Soppy twat.

Billy!

-Billy! Billy!

-How are you doing there?

All right?

All right?

Mr. Giles, quick picture!

Mr. Revie!

Welcome to Derby, Don.

A pleasure to meet you.

I'm-- I'm Brian Clough.

Hello. Yeah, hello, hello.

It's the third round of the FA Cup.

Here we go.

It's Derby County against

Leeds United at the Baseball Ground.

Come on, boys!

Derby County in the white shirt...

... very much the underdogs...

...as they face

the First Division Champions.

Playing today in their away strip

of dark blue shirts and yellow shorts.

Remember what I said.

Giles dispossessed by Hector.

Well, the atmosphere

is absolutely electric.

But the pitch, as ever at Derby...

... in poor condition

and heavily sanded.

Giles. Oh, that's a strong challenge

on McFarland.

That was diabolical! Diabolical!

There have been question marks

about some of Leeds players...

... intimidating referees.

And it looks like McFarland

is out of the match.

That don't look good.

-You all right, Brian?

-Yeah.

Leeds with the free kick.

Delivered deep.

Oh, here's Clarke.

He's unmark ed at the back post.

Leeds lead by one goal to nil

Well played, Billy.

Giles with the corner.

Bremner.

F***ing close him down!

Bremner's gone down!

-What?

-There didn't appear to be any contact!

-The referee has given a spot-kick.

-He never f***ing touched him, ref!

He dived!

He f***ing dived!

Well played, Billy.

And that penalty spot...

... is lost somewhere in the middle

of a desperate patch of mud.

And it's 2-nil.

Leeds have won it now!

Don Revie sending a clear message

to his rivals.

Leeds is still
