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.
