99

I remember these times. I am a Scottish Hibs fan. Nevertheless, this year, was framed by this Manchester United team. The footballing world could not ignore their on field magic.

E. G. The night my future wife first introduced me to her father, Inter Milan vs Man Utd was showing on the big screen TV in the pub we met. I remember desperately trying to maintain my composure. But the excitement of these Manchester Utd games were infectious.

I watched the English FA Cup final in the pub with a few pals & it was just one of those great days; full of youth driven fun.

The evening of the European Cup final, which was electric viewing that had me & my pals 100% behind the red devils (which is understandable due to Scotland's links with this great club), was the evening I first told my future wife that I loved her.

All these moments tied to these events depicted so masterfully in this documentary.

Watching it I almost felt 21 again.

I was just 16 years old when United did the impossible working as a kitchen porter and training as a chef I was working during the champions league final thinking the game was dead I remember hearing everyone going crazy in the bar so ran out to see that we had scored an equaliser then running back to the kitchen to do my Job thinking yes extra time before hearing everyone going crazy again so run back out to see that we had gone 2 one up then running back to the kitchen with the biggest smile on my face ever not only was this my first time seeing United win the champions league it was the first time seeing a team go on to win a treble a history winning season and thinking the one player who deserved it the most was Beckham because if anyone was around during time and seen the amount of abuse that lad got for getting sent off for England against Argentina was insane that would never be aloud now shows how mentally strong players we're back then and how tuff captains like Roy kean was to install his leadership mentally in the squad. Fast-forward to today and it's very hard to watch a team that is on far more money now all complaining don't. Even look bothered when we are losing saying the manger works them to hard unbelievably Roy kean in 99 or 2000 became the highest paid player in the league on 50 thousand pound a week rashford is on 3 hundred and 65 thousand a week that's crazy ten hag needs to show them player's this documentary and show some of this new crop of player's this is how men play insane work ethic and drive they could learn a thing or too from 99 treble winning team.....

Everything about this club put together. Unbelievably good. The passion and the struggle brought them together as one and made them who they were then. Mostly because they are being treated to be mentally tough and challenged every day. The Boss it's the real deal there after he gets his revenge on the end against the other football clubs and made a history today which can't be forgotten. Beckham is the greatest player at that time whit his reflection of the toughest times back then. The first episode of 99 begins with Manchester United in a state of flux, still bruised from losing out to Arsenal for the Premier League title in 1998. But when the players returned to start training for the 1998-99 season, Beckham's name was at the centre of a tabloid maelstrom.

United fans will love this program. A great synopsis of their finest ever achievement as a club. Interesting insights from nearly all the main players involved (notably Roy Keane didn't participate which is a shame). Amazing to see even some of the players surprised by new revelations. Those of us who remember 1999 will love reliving it and will love the additional insight given by players and staff involved. Those United fans too young to remember will maybe learn just why this was such a unique group and why they are still worshipped to this day.

It's harder for me to say whether neutral fans will enjoy this. Obviously fans of rival teams won't and will say it's self-indulgent nonsense. However I do believe genuinely neutral fans of football (if there is such a thing!) will enjoy the new insights and details which generally would be kept "behind closed doors" at and soon after the time it all happened.

For me, thoroughly enjoyable, just the right length and a great piece of football documentary TV.

I was too young to even recall the incredible achievement of the United treble. But as a life long United fan, this documentary gave me chills. This was the greatest achievement in English football and the creators of this doc truly showcase the ups and downs of that roller coaster season.

The documentary gives a lot of insight into how the players and coaches were feeling throughout the season. Its amazing for those who were too young or can't remember as well how amazing the journey was.

I would not say this doc is only for United fans, its for football fans as well (apart from Uniteds rivals). Thank you to the producers for giving us United fans this doc. We needed this after such a pathetic season recently.

Legends are forever and the greats of 99 will never be forgotten.
