Sunday 11 May - Beeston St. Anthony's (West Yorks League Premier Div): Andy Gallon -writes..' I 
Thought this might be of interest to FGIF readers. 
West Yorkshire League Premier Division club Beeston St Anthony's are set for some welcome publicity and a major cash boost. Their Beggars Hill ground (February TT78-189) is to feature in a film version of David Peace's eyeopening book 'The Damned United', which traces the infamous 44-day reign as Leeds United manager of the late Brian Clough. Researchers have visited Saints' spectacularly sited ground, which overlooks Elland Road, as part of a location scouting mission and took preliminary video footage. Club programme editor and committee member Terry Rowe reports the venue is to be depicted as the training ground of Derby County from the days when Clough was in charge of the Rams. The terraced red-brick back-to-backs high above Beeston's ground are also to play a part in a film which, apparently, will star Jim Broadbent as former Derby chairman Sam Longson and Timothy Spall as Peter Taylor, Clough's right-hand man throughout his managerial career. Best of all, as far as Beeston are concerned, the film company plan to pay the club £500 a day for using their facilities - and estimate they will need to spend two days on location at Beggars Hill. A nice little earner!'
