HEARTS legend Dave Mackay has won a legal tussle with the makers of the film The Damned United.

The biopic, based on the book by novelist David Peace, chronicles Brian Clough's ill-fated 44-day stint as the manager of Leeds United in 1974.

The movie portrays Mackay mounting a players revolt in a bid to get Clough reinstated as manager of Derby County in 1973.
