Listen on
Episode notes
Our first chapter in the Premier League storybook saw how Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United signed Eric Cantona and went on to dominate the early years of the competition’s history. A few years later, a new side – armed with top new signings and an incredible influx of young players – had come of age.
The 1998-99 season saw United achieve perhaps English football’s greatest feat – the Treble. Reeling from an Arsenal league and cup double the year before, Fergie’s only choice was to go one better.
Paul Scholes was one of the most talented of that slew of academy stars who had come through at Old Trafford embedded in a culture of winning, and gives us his take on that incredible season, while we’ll also hear from some of his team-mates and rivals of the era.
Chapter Seven is one no football fan will ever forget…
