The film The Damned United has upset the family of former football manager Brian Clough and some of his players.

The film, based on the book by David Peace, tells the story of Clough's 44-day reign as manager of Leeds United.

Smaira Ahmed talks to former Leeds United player Peter Lorimer, who was a key player at the club when Clough was in charge.
