5.0 out of 5 stars Review from BBC website, March 13, 2004

By	C. Jackson "truthandlife" (Cypress, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The official Manchester United Training and Skills Programme

Menacing in midfield? Deadly in defence? A stunning striker? Now comes the unique opportunity to hone your soccer skills in the style of true champions. BBC Worldwide are proud to announce the release of, in association with Manchester United Football Club, the first official Manchester United training and skills video.

Introduced and linked by Sir Alex Ferguson and Academy Coach Rene Meulensteen, Play Like Champions offers fans, and aspiring football players alike, the chance to see inspirational key skills coaching sessions featuring a range of the club's best players including Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Roy Keane, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and many more.

Play Like Champions features over 100 minutes of specially recorded footage filmed on location at Old Trafford, The Manchester United Training Facility in Carrington and during the club's tour of America. Alongside key skills segments such as Free Kicks, The Scissors and The Step Over, Premier League footage is analysed with multi-angles and slow-mo to see the skills in match winning action.

The players, coaching staff and past footballing legends (including Sir Bobby Charlton) are also interviewed to give a further insight into the magic of Manchester Utd. With nutritional and fitness advice, as well as how to handle the legendary mind games of football, Play Like Champions is the ultimate guide to making it in the big league.

The DVD features a golden boot of extras with thirty minutes of extra footage, including two additional skills, outtakes, biographies, a photo gallery, history of Man Utd and a link to the official Man Utd website.

5.0 out of 5 stars Man U Training DVD, June 20, 2004

By	B. C. Hylton "bch" (Greensboro, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Excellent DVD to teach multiple skills and techniques. This could be one of the best instructional DVD's on the market for youth soccer players. There is a lot of Manchester United propaganda in the production but I found it quite interesting and would recommend this to anyone with kids who play soccer.
