Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jermaine Jenas selected The Damned United by David Peace.
Book synopsis: Overachieving and eccentric football manager Brian Clough is on his way to take over the country's most successful, and most reviled, football club - Leeds United. The battle he'd face there would make or break the club - or him. This work tells the story of a world characterised by fear of failure and hunger for success.

Jenas reveals: "This is a book which focuses on Brian Clough's short spell managing Leeds Utd from a fictional point of view. Obviously coming from Nottingham, I have always been interested in Brian Clough and it is good to read something about football that is a bit different; it will intrigue you and make you laugh."
