I was 15 and a season ticket holder at the time, so old enough and close enough to remember most of this but feck me I'd not properly computed just how much drama there was that season
- Schmeichel's retirement announcement and horrendous form
- Going on a 33 game unbeaten run to finish the season
- Winning the PL on the last day after going behind
- Giggs only coming on as a sub in the FA Cup semi
- Keano getting sent off in the same game and the last minute penalty
- All the tabloid drama with Cole & Yorke
- Losing Scholes & Keano for the final
- The controversy over the starting 11 in the UCL final
- and of course the final few moments of the UCL final itself
- edit: Kidd leaving part-way through the season
All of that stuff combined is what made that season fairytale stuff, not like 115 FC steamrollering their way to the treble on the back of financial doping.
There was lots of stuff that was new to me as well like Fergie's resignation, and the team meeting after the Xmas party. Cole & Sheringham (and Keane) getting into a fight.
The show did a brilliant job of putting the achievement in context as well, eg. all of the previous failures in Europe, the class of 92 being dismissed in 96, Cole's hang ups about the last game in 95, Cantona leaving. I've probably missed some.
Loved the little details as well like Ole being pissed off watching Sheringham come on and then warming up next to Fergie towards the end of the game to convince him to bring him on.
I finished the last episode last night and watched MOTD immediately afterwards. The PL nowadays is sanitised, meaningless dreck by comparison.
