Michael Sheen has admitted that he would be tempted to reprise his role as legendary football manager Brian Clough.

Speaking to DS at the 2009 Empire Awards, the Damned United star said that he is interested in portraying an older Clough during his glory days at Nottingham Forest.

"Yeah, I mean it's a great story, isn't it?" Sheen remarked. "Now that I've played him for the period of time I have it's really tempting to keep going. We'll have to get someone to write the script first."
