The Damned Utd (2006)
The Damned Utd
“But you are not a superstitious man; you do not believe in luck – ‘Not over forty-two games,’ you tell the world. ‘There’s no such thing.’ But if you beat Liverpool today, you’ll still have a chance of the title – If Liverpool do not win their last game. If Leeds lose theirs.
But first Derby have to win; to beat Bill Shankly, Kevin Keegan and Liverpool; Bill Shankly, Kevin Keegan and Liverpool, who have taken twenty-eight out of the last thirty available points; who have not been beaten sin...ce the middle of January; who have conceded just three goals since then; who still have a game to go after this, away at Arsenal, still one more game; something you do not have; something you do not need.
‘This is it,’ you tell the dressing room. ‘The last game of our season. The best season of our lives. The season we will win the League Championship. Enjoy it.’ It’s an evening kick-off , but the sun’s still shining as the two teams are announced, as the record 40,000 crowd gasp at your selection; you have named sixteen- year-old Steve Powell for the injured Ronnie Webster.MoreLess
