Ironically Dave Mackay doesn't come out of it so well.

He should have let events unfold further before rushing to accept the job.

everyone worshipped dave as a player, and he owed Brian for giving him the opportunity to enjoy a glorious swan song at the end of his career. but he seemed like a disloyal opportunist when he rushed in to fill the vacancy and effectively ended any chance of Brian and peter coming back.

Brian never wanted to go but was recklessly foolhardy in many ways.

He seemed hell bent on self- destruction but maybe he learned a painful lesson very quickly and clearly wanted to stay.

Dave should have understood the sensitivities better.

The worst thing was about it all was that the key people.....including dave....effectively ignored the wishes of the fans - the very fans who had adored Dave but who still wanted Brian.

In the end the wishes of the fans and the players counted for nothing.

Not the clubs finest hour.

I bought this DVD a couple of years ago and really love it.

Apart from the main feature it has footage of his verbal sparring with his best friend Don Revie and other gems and should be in every fan's collection. Especially as it is approved by his family which "The Damned United" certainly wasn't!

(Despite brilliant acting by Michael Sheen)
