When Don Revie left to manage the national side, the club turned to Brian Clough who by then had won the 1st Division title with Derby County.
It was always going to be a struggle to follow the greatest Leeds United manager of all time and Clough only lasted 44 days and 7 matches before he was sacked.
His acrimonious reign at Elland Road was turned into a very watchable film - The Damned United starred Michael Sheen as Clough.
