Reliving the glory days! Man United legends David Beckham, Gary Neville, and Teddy Sheringham among the stars on the red carpet for premiere of new Amazon Prime documentary on 1999 Treble - timelineoffuture
September 21, 2024

David Beckham was among the legends from Manchester United’s illustrious past at a red carpet event for a new documentary detailing one of the greatest achievements in their history.

In the 1998-99 season, Sir Alex Ferguson’s side pulled off a then-unprecedented Treble, winning each of the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League – the first English side to do so.

Since then, rivals Manchester City have also gone on to pull off the seismic feat, doing so last season, yet it is an undeniably impressive accolade in the annals of football history.

As such, Amazon Prime have recently produced a documentary series of the incredible season featuring exclusive interviews with Sir Alex Ferguson, Beckham, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Peter Schmeichel, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and others as they chart that extraordinary season 25 years on.

Beckham led the way at Thursday evening’s event, and posed for pictures with his long-term friend and team-mate Neville on the red carpet.

‘The series is both a love letter to one of the greatest achievements in world football and the story of a group of players who were recruited, coached and moulded by Sir Alex Ferguson to create history.

‘The documentary also includes never-before-seen archive footage as well as behind-the-scenes candid video from the club and fans.’
