‘Only this will define you – forever,’ says goalkeeper Schmeichel, before Beckham says: ‘1999 – it had been a hell of a season,’ a reference to his vilification after being sent off for England at the 1998 World Cup.
The Neville brothers, Gary and Phil, plus Ferguson’s assistant Steve McClaren are then seen describing the ‘desperation’, ‘heartache’, ‘pain’ and ‘sheer fear’ of United’s tightrope act in three competitions.
‘There was no time to rest,’ says Ferguson, who was knighted after United’s achievements.
Dwight Yorke and Sheringham then appear to talk about the intense rivalry with Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal, whom United pipped to the title on the final day and beat in an epic FA Cup semi-final.
There’s a glimpse of Ryan Giggs’ famous solo goal to defeat Arsenal in the semi-final replay and the moments of desperations before the miracle turnaround against Bayern Munich.
