99
Premieres on May 17
Following the treble in '99, Manchester United was elevated to new heights. The club became a global brand with one of the largest fan bases worldwide; Alex Ferguson became "Sir" Alex Ferguson and cemented his place as one of the greatest managers of all time; David Beckham’s superstar football and celebrity status soared. Approaching the 1998/99 season however, such scenes were a pipe dream. United had been stunned by a new force in the Premiership, Arsène Wenger’s Arsenal, who as reigning champions were looking to create a new era in English football. At the start of the season, summer scandal surrounded young Beckham, whose World Cup red card brought only more unwanted media attention to Ferguson’s team. At the same time, United appeared to lack the quality required to win in Europe following the departure of French superstar, Eric Cantona. 1999 therefore presented a fascinating story for Collins, who interviewed the team in search of the answer to how it all happened. The three episodes of the series are divided by the three trophies but they shift back in time to deliver the powerful character arcs of players like Andy Cole and to exhibit the characteristic United spirit, which goes back to the era of iconic manager, Sir Matt Busby, and was in the late 90s epitomised by Ferguson’s home-grown talent known as the Class of '92. Director Sampson Collins’ access to the team allowed him to discover the players’ psychological intensity, their commitment to never giving in no matter what, and their willingness to risk everything to make history. It is the stories the players share with Collins which gives the series more depth than just a retrospective documentary about a good football team. Weaving their personal stories into the journey of the season, Collins shows how their mentality pushed them through dire situations to achieve the miraculous comeback victories witnessed throughout the series.
