I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The Class of 92 tells the story of 6 Manchester United players who all came through the academy system and went on to achieve great success, winning the treble in 99 being the highest point.The 6 players were David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt and the Neville brothers, Gary & Phil. All of them have now retired (some of them were in their final years at the time of filming) so it was time to look back on their achievements.Whether you love or hate Manchester United, you would struggle to find anyone who doesn't admire what they have done. I am an Arsenal fan so obviously watching this documentary bought back some horrible memories of Bergkamp missing his penalty in the FA Cup semi final but looking back now I have the utmost respect for what they done at the time. It also made me feel nostalgic about the old rivalry between Arsenal & Manchester United.All of the players came across well in the documentary and you could tell that they were just normal blokes living the dream. Paul Scholes & Nicky Butt were particularly interesting as during their playing careers we never really knew much about them off the pitch. David Beckham is of course a global superstar who is known for other things but he came across as a very humble guy, as did Ryan Giggs who undoubtedly achieved the most success as a player at Manchester United. The Neville brothers were full of grit and determination as well, they wasn't the most talented of the bunch but their love for the game kept them going to the highest level. Both of them are now pundits and Gary in particular is very informative when talking about the game.Overall I feel the documentary was a good insight although it perhaps came a little too soon. It may have worked better to look back once another 10 or so years had passed. I liked how we was snippets from the other youth team members but the input from Tony Blair seemed pretty irrelevant. I also feel the documentary could have been done in more detail, for those of you who are not football fans you may get a little lost when they jump through various timezones and start talking. I also think it would've been interesting if they had also talked about their careers after Manchester United (as 3 of them did move on to other clubs) and also maybe some more input from other team members such as Roy Keane etc.An interesting watch never the less. A documentary that all football and sport fans should watch and admire.

The documentary nicely focus on the half of the the class of 92 that made into the highest levels of football stardom. The scenes where the players chat with each others, particularly talking about things only insiders knew are one of the best strong points of this film. Having outsiders who in some ways have parts in the team or in the era is also a great way to enrich the information and perspective to better glance at the era of Manchester United's winnings until the 1999 treble. As a Manchester United fan myself, I really enjoy this film, reminiscing on one of the biggest success and history written by the club, especially by the great names, legends under the great Sir Alex Ferguson. However I must say that the timing of release is just a bit too soon. It's because Not until recently Ryan Giggs was still in the game, and Manchester United has just been through a lousy season with David Moyes, it's almost like saying that the bad luck will stay for long.

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.
