The Class of 92
1
(CROWD CHEERING)
COMMENTATOR 1:
Welcome to Barcelona.Almost 100,000 people here
in the Nou Camp this evening.
It really is an extraordinary atmosphere.
COMMENTATOR 2:
But you do wonderis fate now taking a hand
in Manchester United's destiny.
They have made their own luck
with their boldness and their adventure,
but they have had just enough luck
to stand here on the brink of history.
It's the chance of a lifetime.
A treble chance,
the likes of which no English team
has had before, or may ever get again.
is not a year on which I shall look back
with undiluted pleasure.
MALE REPORTER:
One ofManchester's busiest shopping streets,
suddenly a living hell.
A bomb planted in bushes
behind Kendals department store
showered office workers with flying glass.
(CLAMOURING)
FEMALE PROTESTER: Smash the poll tax
and smash the Tories
and in the end put an end
to this Tory government itself.
I've only got one thing to say,
it's nice to be back.
NEWS REPORTER:
Ll' is clear tonightthat it is no longer a matter of whether,
but when there is a royal divorce.
NEWS REPORTER:
England's shatteredplayers arrived back at the hotel.
A few hours later we once again saw
the dark face of English football.
It has turned out to be
an annus horribilis.
ALEX FERGUSON:
A club of this size,one would expect at the platform, the stage,
everything is geared to doing very, very well.
And that very, very well
means winning the league.
The first thing I ever did
at United was buy a map.
I had a map on my wall at The Cliff
of Manchester.
And I got the scouts in.
I just wanted to make sure
that by getting the map,
that all the areas were covered.
I got all the scouts in and told them,
"I want the best boy on your team,
not the best boy on your street."
ERIC HARRISON:
I was a Man United supporter,
and it's extra special
when you get the coaching job there.
When Sir Alex took over, everybody realised
that he wanted a vibrant youth system.
And he said to me straight out,
as typically Sir Alex does,
he says, "I'm not entirely satisfied
with the youth system," you know.
He'd only been there
probably a few weeks, or a month.
I said, "Well, you know, we've had
Norman Whiteside through,
"and Mark Hughes through."
And he looked at me with those steely eyes
and he said, "That's not enough."
I said, "Do you know how many local scouts
Manchester City have got,
"and how many
Manchester United have got?"
When I told him, he was staggered,
he was absolutely staggered.
We'd only two scouts in Manchester.
The whole of Manchester,
there were only two scouts.
Can you believe that?
If you think the population
of Greater Manchester
at that time was six million.
When I left Aberdeen,
the population of Scotland at that time
was three and a half million people,
and we had 17 scouts in Aberdeen.
And I'm not exaggerating,
within a month he trebled
the scouting system at Manchester United,
and that's when we started
getting the players.
Nicky Butt, what an absolute warrior.
What a great player Nicky Butt was.
Another Bryan Robson. Without question.
I think he nicknamed himself One Nut Butt.
He used to just head-butt people
and knock 'em out, he said.
GARY NEVILLE:
I think the lads were always abit nervous about giving Butty a nickname,
'cause you didn't how he was going to
react, he might just give you a dig.
You just don't mess with him.
RYAN GIGGS:
Scholesy was like the jokerthat got away with it all the time.
DAVID BECKHAM:
We kind of nicknamed him The Ghost.
You know, he'd just
disappear at some point.
I know what Scholesy was like,
he was a little rascal.
And if somebody's underpants were missing,
I knew who it'd be. Paul Scholes.
GARY:
You've got a kid who's smaller than most.
He's got asthma. He's not the quickest,
but the best player I've ever played with.
Work that out.
BECKHAM:
When I first saw Giggsy,I just saw this really skinny kid.
PHIL NEVILLE:
There's no flashness to him.He's probably the most down-to-earth
superstar I've ever met.
NICKY BUTT:
One minute he can bethe most serious man in the world,
where he can be eye-balling somebody
and really deep-eye staring at somebody,
and then next minute he can be
dancing on the table doing Elvis, so...
GARY:
The thing that struck me early onabout Becks was his appearance.
You thought,
"He's too pretty to be a football player."
That was his nickname, "Pretty Boy".
PAUL SCHOLES:
You just thinkhe's a flash cockney.
GIG-GS:
I used to call him "Treacle"."All right, Treacle." You know, and just...
That was his nickname.
We still all know him,
I still see him in his red Escort Mexico.
That's how I look at him.
EGGS:
"Busy Brothers","Busy One and Two",
"Nervous Nevilles".
SCHOLES:
"Nervous Nevilles", yeah.He was a bit jittery on the ball at times.
Gary and Phil could be. Not always, though.
GARY:
I think Freddie Flintoffon interviews has said
that the best day of his cricket career
was when Phil Neville retired,
because he then became
the best all-rounder in Lancashire.
He's just bubbly, he's always happy.
Another difference from him and Gaz.
SCHOLES:
Gary was the geek, wasn't he?He was always sorting things out and everyone
just started calling him Busy and...
Actually, Busy (BLEEP)
we always used to call him.
(BUZZING)
Everybody, the lads used to
walk past me going... (BUZZING)
GARY:
I grew up in Bury.Lived in a terraced house opposite a park.
All I remember about being a kid
is playing football,
playing cricket at the cricket club.
And massively about
my dad taking me to United as a kid.
I always remember the first time I went
and I was absolutely mesmerised.
You always thought
next year will be our year.
"We'll win the league. We'll
win the league." We never did.
All I ever wanted to be
was a football player.
And the only club I ever wanted
to play at was United.
And Gary was one of them lads that
when you know him, you love him to death,
he's a great lad, everyone likes him.
And when you don't know him he has
this persona of not being a nice person.
I couldn't stand his
guts when I was younger.
And all I wanted to do was kick him
whenever I played against his local team.
Gary Neville was nowhere near as talented
technically as the other boys.
And he won't mind me saying that.
I always felt as though I had to work
extra all the time.
And just live and eat better
than anybody else.
I've given up on it a little bit now.
I made a conscious decision at 16,
when I left school,
that I couldn't continue to see the friends
that I had been friends at school with,
because I knew full well
I would get drawn into doing things
that 16 to 18-year-old lads did,
and I couldn't do it.
I couldn't do it. I
couldn't have any regrets.
And he wanted to make himself a player.
I didn't make him a player,
he made himself a player.
Eric Harrison was a massive influence
