The Unique Treble [Hardcover]

Alex Ferguson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 2001

In 1999 Manchester United achieved the unthinkable - they won the FA Carling Premiership, the FA Cup and the European Champions League. The excitement generated was heightened by the intensity and drama of matches such as their 4-2 comeback over Juventus and their last-minute victory over Bayern Munich in the Champion's League final. Here, the man who masterminded this remarkable feat presents an illustrated, match-by-match account of how his team planned and scored the goals during that incredible year. Alex Ferguson provides insights with his managers reports, capturing each match of the season in detail.

Editorial Reviews

Review

When Manchester United won the Treble in 1999 - the Premiership, FA Cup and Champions League - they did so with style and verve. This book is manager Ferguson's account of a fantastic season of triumph for the Red Devils. All the intensity and drama is covered match by match. The accompanying original line drawings, illustrations and photos are interesting and informative as they show each player's role in the team and the build-up to significant goals. Addition-ally, Ferguson provides us with manager's reports throughout as each match is captured in terrific detail. As a follow-up to the best-selling Managing My Life, this will obviously appeal to United supporters but more broadly to all football fans for its behind-the-scenes angle on the most successful season in the history of the world's biggest football club.
