Employment solicitor Andy Graham of Leeds firm Ison Harrison landed a role in newly released football flick The Damned United. The film charts footballing legend Brian Clough’s ill-fated 44 days as manager of then mighty Leeds United. Leeds fan Graham plays the role of Terry ‘Top Cat’ Cooper, England left back and key member of Don Revie’s legendary team of the 1970s. Graham tells Obiter: ‘I knew the playing football part would be OK, but to have to stand in front of a camera trying to remember words that had been given to me 30 seconds previously was something completely alien.’ The professionals’ verdict? Andy has a good engine. That’s apparently a good thing on the football field and in the day job.
