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

Great sports documentary. The story of the Manchester United careers of six players - David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville and Phil Neville - who emerged as Man Utd players at the same time - 1992. More than just a study of their individual careers and performances, a look at what they and Man Utd achieved as a team and, moreover, the camaraderie between them. It is the camaraderie aspect that makes the movie, giving an emotional content rare in documentaries.Well-researched, with some interesting and insightful interviews. Quite different in that we don't only have interviews with the six players and their former team-mates but also with some celebrities. The celebrities represent the external view of Man Utd, and add a different dimension to the analysis of the team. The interviews with Mani (of the Stone Roses) were particularly interesting. Danny Boyle was pretty good too. Tony Blair was a bit tedious and pretentious though.A must-see for any Manchester United Supporter, and really for any sports fan. There can't be too many documentaries that give so accurate a depiction of the brothers-in-arms feeling within a sports team.

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 can be a special film for just about anyone and not just football or Manchester United fans. You'll get lost in the feelings of the players as they relive a very monumental period of time in their lives that they shared together. It gets easy to forget that they have moved past those years long ago and can now only look back as some moments seem eternal. The historic significance of their football aside, what makes this film extra special is that all of them had the same expression as they did during their youth while rewinding back to relive what now feels only like a dream. Their nostalgia, euphoria and inspiration is contagious. Simply exceptional and everyone should watch it.
