The Class of '92

Even if you know virtually nothing about the sport of soccer on Manchester United either, this is a really well done film that explores the dynamic of a group of young men coming of age together. You really appreciate having so many people who are actually from Manchester; it's got a coming of age quality to it. Also has nice overtures to the cultural moment of the 1990s. Nice soundtrack of songs from that time as well.

This is a remarkable film. It is a revealing insight into a time which is embedded into the cultural psyche of any football fan or indeed, any sports fan. Of course, if one is a Man Utd fan (like myself) it is an absolute treat!

I defy any Utd fan not to get a lump in their throat as they relive Beckham's wonder goal from the halfway line against Wimbledon, or Giggs' gravity-defying dribble and match-winner against Arsenal in the the semi-final replay of '99, or Ole Gunnar Solskjær's toe-poked winner against Bayern Munich in the epic Champions League final of '99.

It's not just a catalogue of footballing highlights however. It gives a real insight into the mindset and environment these working-class, soon-to-be superstars were nurtured in.

I know all film-making is manipulation, clever editing and good story-telling, but it is difficult to believe that the relaxed, raw and even hilarious anecdotal banter between the now legendary players, is anything other than genuine, transparent, respect and admiration for each other.

The blend of talent, ability, dedication, character, camaraderie and ultimate history-making achievement between these young footballers is like a far-fetched story from a kids' football magazine. Yet it is all true.

I firmly believe that the current infrastructure of football doesn't permit this kind of situation from ever occurring again. We live in a different world now.

As a side-note, the current under-performing Man Utd team (and manager) should watch this together to remember the amazing legacy they are trying to preserve.

The Class Of 92 as players need little introduction, the 90s belonged to Manchester United & at the core of that success were a few young lads, mates, who not only lived their dreams, they did it together & made history. This film tells that story & gives us an insight into what it was like, the film is much more than just the football, it is a look back at a brilliant decade when Manchester was leading the way both on & off the field. Growing up most young lads can only dream of what these lads went on to achieve & for us sat at home being all nostalgic about the beautiful 90s, it is a treat !!! I really cant recommend this highly enough, a 10 from me !!!!

as a Liverpool fan I still struggle to re-live that FA cup defeat, back in '99. But this is an amazing story of sport. Very well told, filmed and directed. 6 kids with whom 'you cannot win anything' ended up winning, yes, everything.

Funny, moving, entertaining. You get to know a lot about the character of the players portrayed (especially the ones who kept a lower profile than others.

And a very good insight on Fergie's United. You may love or hate him, but when it came to managing a football club you'll struggle to find many more on the same level as the Scot.

One point deducted, so 9 instead of 10 for the bits with Tony Blair. But that's me, not being able to listen to the sound of his voice.

Perfect otherwise

The Class of 92 takes us through the story which has been told time and again but the sheer beauty of how its done bringing the whole culture, the wave of change around Manchester at the time and of course the brilliance of Manchester United and especially 6 home grown talents who grew from being boyhood fans to becoming Legends and history makers for their beloved Manchester United, is a joy to watch. For United fans of this generation, you would already be in love with the protagonists here and its a chance of going and falling in love with your heroes all over again.

Its a truly remarkable motion picture. Anybody associated with football or not must watch this, for its a tale of male friendship, togetherness, discipline, hard work, sacrifice and much much more.
