Johnny Giles
I'm surprised he didn't have a bigger part in the film.
shareJohn Giles had already taken the publishers of the David Peace book to court over the inaccuracies in it and won damages. That's why the Giles character in the movie does very little.

Good point. Thanks
shareWas Giles as big a scumbag, dirty, cheap player in real life as he was in the movie? Or was it amplified?
"All the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll whisper "no."
No he wasn't and neither was Billy Bremner, but Giles was the players' choice to replace Don Revie so he was probably a bit peeved. Clough just seemed to take the job for all the wrong reasons

It makes sense to leave Giles in the sidelines to avoid litigation.
Its that man again!!
