I suppose this contains spoilers but if you're a United fan and don't know what this is about you should hang your head in shame :DRyan Giggs, David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt, Gary Neville and Phil Neville The Boss got rid of a few big stars like Mark Hughes, Andrei Kanchelskis and Paul Ince because they thought they were bigger than the club - Paul Parker retired through injury - they were replaced by a bunch of kids even most United fans had never heard of Probably the greatest bunch of footballers ever to come through at one time at any club - documentary shows how down to earth they still are even after earning millions and how much they have remained friends - highlights the early days when Hansen said "You'll never win anything with kids"(we won the double that year) to the 1998/99 season when we won the treble against all the odds - from the Great Dane's penalty save to Giggsy's goal in the semi-final replay of the FA Cup when we were down to 10 men, the last league game of the season v Spurs when we went 1-0 down and nothing seemed to go right and the comeback to win 2-1 to clinch the Premier title, the FA Cup final victory against Toon when we lost inspirational captain Keano after 20 minutes (and won 2-0) and the incredible night in Barcelona when we were 1-0 to Bayern until the 92nd minute - by the 94th we were 2-1 up Had me blubbing like a little girl when Ole poked in that 2nd v Bayern (then and now) - great times - great memories - great players :)Thank you lads :)

Football documentary following the fortunes of six Manchester United players and how they became legends at the club.I'm not a Manchester United fan but this is an enjoyable and well put together film that shows the camaraderie and passion these young men had as they became global names within the game.There is a lack of footage at times and I would have preferred to know more like when Beckham left for Real Madrid and the dynamics within the dressing with new players arriving but the six players come across well and have some entertaining and interesting anecdotes especially about "that night in Barcelona".The inclusion of Clive Tyldesley adding commentary to a few clips wasn't necessary and neither is Tony Blair's input but Danny Boyle and Mani give good accounts.

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.
