I was born in '76. Alex came in '86 and I was ten. For the next 26 years of my life, me and Man U were consistently linked in my memories. I remember so much because Man U were good then. The years highlighted in this brilliant video I remember as me growing up from a boy, to teenager, to an adult. Maybe that is why it is so vivid. I remember all the big games, where I was, what I was doing and at what point in my life I was at. I don't care that Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool are now the dominant forces (although Man U have just beaten leaders Arsenal 3 - 1, 4th September 2022) so hopefully Eric "Gimme" Ten Hag can bring back some stability and hope. Things change, as they always do in life. I was just glad I lived through this era, as all fans would. My Dad, who left us in Feb 2020 (thankfully, pre-covid nonsense) was always the 1st one to back Fergie during any so called "crisis". How Fergie, even at the start, was considered in "crisis" is beyond me. Any real fan could see what he was doing and the improvement. The man was a genius and these people come around, but, once in a generation. I remember watching on the Saturday 1995 when Alan Hansen said his quote, "You win nothing with kids!". Apparently, Fergie posted that on the home changing room and anywhere the players would see it. They said it was one of the biggest motivating factors in the 1st Double. I always meant to send Alan a bottle of whiskey that year :)

That 1999 Champions League final was legendary.

Another amazing video. I hope that one day KZfaq's algorithm favours you and your channel blows up, because this content is extremely high quality.

I thought Jose's Porto was a fairy tale, imagine beating Real Madrid in continental final with Aberdeen 😱 and how many strong characters he managed Cantona, Keane, Schmeichel, Beckham, Rooney and Ronaldo 🧐 and Cantona's walk out of dug out 🤩 I have not seen any player exhibiting that much swag, confidence, charisma and pride.

This is quality

Culture Cams recommended this via Rants N Bants. My teenage years when we were the best team in England, God I miss those days! Big up!!!

I had goosebumps at the ending and feel so proud to know the history of my club, delivered so beautifully. This is a masterpiece. Thank you! GGMU

That 98/99 season will stay with me for a long long time. I was only 11 and remember crying as i watched that final thinking it was all over as the board went up for stoppage time. Always remember that commentary "SHERINGHAM, AND SOLSKJAER HAS WON IT" And to think some fans were desperate to get rid of Fergie just 9-10 years before it. Horrible to say this but we will never see another United manager quite like the boss again. The man is a legend and no words can do him justice. ❤️

This is brilliant Can you please do manchester united from 2000-2013

As a lifelong United fan of 34 years, this is an absolute masterpiece. Sad how far we have fallen since Sir Alex retired. But hopefully we can reach the promised land again sometime in my lifetime.

This nearly brought tears to my eyes. The greedy big 6 owners will never understand this.

The best content on any footballing KZfaq channel ever.... Goosebumps literally at the end... You deserve millions of followers my friend... Never ever stop making such videos... You have all my support

A True classic. Every Manchester Utd fan should see this. If you did not cry tears of joy at the end, you aren't a true fan.

GREATEST TEAM, GREATEST MANAGER AND THE GREATEST CLUB ❤❤❤❤

How has it taken this long for me to find this channel?? Brilliant stuff

This shows how tough a job Alex Ferguson had to deal with and what a miracle he did. How fans quickly asked for him to be dismissed twice during his tenure. As a Man.utd fan, am so happy we don't get to choose. Shows how some patience does pay off.

It is KZfaq's fault for not recommending this channel to more people. Easily one of the best.

Almost made me cry the ending 🔥🔥🔥

I don't think you gave enough emphasis on how huge the semi final vs Dortmund was in 1997, United would play Juventus a team that they felt they could match, both physically and tactically... It was basically the biggest chance for United and Cantona to win a European Cup. Cantona's retirement was coz he knew that a complete rebuild without him would result in them doing well in Europe again, as great as 99 was, Man Utd were underdogs in their group, underdogs vs Juventus and a miracle gave them the win in the final, 97 was different, they were actually good enough to win it, but the united team itself didn't have enough of a supporting cast to help Cantona. That's why he announced retirement IMMEDIATELY after that semi final defeat. Also the amount of choking Juventus were doing in the mid to late 90s is insane, they should've won the European Cup from 1996-1999 (They were THAT good)... Choked 2 finals and choked a home semi

The pass from Hughes to Robbins against Forest in the FA cup, a thing of beauty

The most ridiculous thing about this doc is that it’s history repeating itself. I’m backing Ten Hag until the very end. The sun will shine again, even if it sounds extremely likely as of today.

And here is an idea, I wish to see the story of that Aberdeen team, how it was built and how it managed to be this successful.

After all these years, watching those 2 goals in the UCL final still gives me goosebumps

Man United were totally dominant in the 90s They were still the best in 2000s with fewer challenges, now at present to secure the top 5 position in their league for them is challenging!!!! Hope the ETH era brings some progress.

this finale was so brutal. well made documentary.

1999 was the best year of united.

2:55 jeez how history repeats itself

Honestly this is the best video I’ve ever seen about football on KZfaq.

I swear the 1999 UCL finale is the most dramatic finale in UCL history. 🤞🏾🤞🏾

As United fans I have to say that this is one of the best video of Man United history and legacy in KZfaq. Well done my friend! #MUFC #GGMU

mad vid! here coz of rants stream?? like me!

Excellent, Extraordinary, Elegant, you're a gem to this football community

Goosebumps!! Literally I cried at end out of joy 3 glorious days in just 10 days of time ❤️ Manchester United for life ❤️❤️

An honor to live through. The years seems to fly by. It felt like you couldn’t enjoy wins cause every next game was the biggest of your life. Looking back now what a blessing it was to experience. One day I will sit my son down and explain this story to him. Thank you for uploading.

Another sensational video! I’d love one about the Arsenal 1998-2006 period as well! Maybe the 2007-2018 period would be even more interesting

Best man united documentary ive ever seen.

man like rants and cams for putting us onto this

Amazing documentary, goosebumps all over

I remember this season like it was yesterday. What a roller coaster of emotions. Full of ups and downs. But they fought like a caged animal for every ball and every point. What a team that was.

Thank you so much for all the short docos on this channel. They bring back memories and passion. Long live Everton FC. Thank you. ❤

Seeing this bring me strenght & smile ... Glory days

I went to Fergie’s first game as manager of United, against Oxford in 1986. We lost 2-0. I didn’t think that we would go on to do what we did that day. I was also at Ron Atkinson’s last game at United. A 4-1 defeat at Southampton. It would get worse before it got better. We were crap in the late 80’s. Mind you I still prefer the game back then compared to now. Great video. 👍👍

Please continue to do more videos, these are the best, shows how beautiful the game really is, how much emotion and passion was inside in and out of the pitch.

" Ohh Bloody Hell !!... " " FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BOLD ! " ALEX FERGUSON, 26th MAY 1999

UCL final in 1999 was legendary. Players, coaches and even referees were the best at that time.

Froze the screen at 07:50 and the wording was exactly right; it made him. I saw a documentary with Martin Edwards, made by an independent supporters channel. Edwards said that they weren’t going to sack him if he lost the Forest game, but if he kept on losing week after week then obviously they might have to, which was reasonable enough, given the circumstances at the time. A few years earlier and Howard Kendall had been in the exact same position in 1984, during his first spell as the Everton manager; there was talk about sacking him if Everton lost a replay in one of the cups against Oxford. They won 4-1, reaching both domestic Cup Finals that year; winning the FA Cup and then winning the old First Division and Cup Winners Cup the following season and the First Division again in 1987. What a thin margin it is between success and failure ... if either of these managers had lost those vital cup ties, who knows how sporting history might have looked in England over the next 40 years?

That 99 final.. Bayern dominated but couldn't score, United had 2 corners and 2 goals.. This is football

Best and greatest manager to ever grace upon a football pitch

You're doing an amazing job, and deserve a far higher viewcount on this stuff. Your voice is excellent for it, and your enthusiasm hits the spot, before you even get to the whole production aesthetic. The algorithm just put in my path from nowhere, apart from that I'm a big sport fan, so good news on that front. Hope the bigger views are coming, they should be.

got goosebumps everytime i watched giggs goal..and the UCL final against bayern.. GGMU!

Rants x Cams sent me I'm disgusted by how far the club has fallen

Sir Alex Ferguson will remain the best coach of Manchester united

Just finished watching it. Excellent video from start to finish. Very well made. Thank you

1999 is the year which cannot forgot in the heart of Manu fans forever.

Great documentary, brings back some great memories. Nice work, thank you.

Simply................Electric!

The Fact That Nobody remembers Sherringham but Praise Ole Soljkaer...HE scored and assisted in that final

Fantastic to watch, and relive some of Man United's magical moments throughout the Fergie Era!

Thanks a lot, I really like these documentaries.

Ending 🔥🔥🔥

I believe that Elber equaliser was the difference between United winning the group and being second. BTW replays show Elber was offside on one of the goals. Trebble might not have happened if United had a different path to the final. May have affected focus on the competitions. I think the difficult opponents and high rep clubs had a major part in pushing everyone.

Goose bumps! Great channel 👏

Really good video man. Keep it up!
