I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to sit down with Senior Sports Writer at The Times, Matt Dickinson. and go in-depth about about his brand new book "99, Manchester United, The Treble & All That".

They talk in detail about the greatest season ever in British football, discussing Beckham, Keane, Yorke, Ferguson, that FA Cup Semi Final, that night in Turin, and the greatest comeback in the history of football..




Matt's book is available now - https://www.amazon.co.uk/1999-Treble-That-Matt-Dickinson/dp/1398503770/

Top work on this @Annihilate Now!

Good time to forget current troubles and go retro instead

Always was an absolute travesty that Ginola got POTY that season - what were they thinking ?!

At some stage you think there's really nothing new you can hear or read about 1999, but it made me want to read this book.

Almost certainly because there was a split vote between a number of United players IIRC. Good chunk of that squad could have won it and there'd have been no debating it.

Possibly, I think they realised the mistake as Roy Keane got it the year after

Dwight Yorke did get the official PL POTY Award at least

our Ballon d'or voting also got quite split that year with 7 different United players getting votes

This was an excellent podcast. Rare occasion where someone plugs a book and it actually made me go off and buy it. Really looking forward to reading it
