Summary
LONGLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR PRIZE
In 1999, Manchester United completed a unique Treble, winning the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League - but more remarkable than that was how they did it, and the stories behind the historic achievement. Matt Dickinson covered the whole story at the time, and now in 99 compelling chapters brings it all vividly to life.
When the season began, Manchester United were up for sale, the club's iconic talisman Eric Cantona had gone, rivals Arsenal were the reigning Double winners, David Beckham was a national hate figure after being sent off during the World Cup, and even manager Alex Ferguson's position was being questioned. Early signs weren't promising, despite record spending to bring in new stars, among them Jaap Stam and Dwight Yorke, but soon things began to change.
Driven by the indomitable will of skipper Roy Keane, supported by a nucleus from the Class of 92 - Beckham, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, the Nevilles and Paul Scholes - who had grown up at the club, they went on a long unbeaten and unbeatable run, featuring some of the most dramatic games in fans' memories. Matt Dickinson highlights the key moments, speaking to those at the centre of the story and to those whose moment went unnoticed. 1999: Manchester United, the Treble and All That is so much more than a book for United fans; it is an insight into team building, the will to success and a tale of local pride. It reveals the real stories behind the legend that was sealed with a last-minute scrambled goal from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to win the Champions League.

Memories ❤️
Blimey, that was absolutely fantastic. So well written and read. Having lived through that whole experience, being a red Manc. Wow, the memories come flooding back to me. Having been at most of the games that season. It was amazing to re live it with the book. For all football supporters, for me a must listen or read. And still I attend the games, hoping to feel the joy of picking up silver ware. Come on you reds ❤️

Not a United fan
But an epic listen, and helps show the development of football, to what it is now. Nineties football was the bridge from the football or old to the football of now. And this book helps to show that story.

Best book I've listered to in a long time.
Firstly, I'm a United man from the days of Law, Best and Charlton. I have The Treble DVD but stumbled upon this book by accident. How fortuitous this turned out to be. It is a fascinating insight into all things Treble, quoting players, manager, staff and various other sources. The narration is spot on and moves the story on with pace. Brilliant, all round!

Still gives me tingles 25 years on!
A perfect balance of nostalgia, humour and detail that nails the dynamics within the squad and makes you feel like you are living every facet of this unbelievable achievement.
I still remember that night in ‘99 like it was yesterday and watching the replay of that final few minutes still gives me goosebumps.
What a listen! 👏
