Man Utd legends share unheard 1999 Champions League Final stories | Football’s Greatest Eras

- Опубликовано: 10 ноя 2024
- Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes are here to take you inside one of the most dominant periods of English football. You can expect stories about the trophies, the rivalries, the hairdryer and their team-mates throughout the series as they get candid about their time at Manchester United.
Welcome to Football's Greatest Eras and where else to start but with the crowning glory for that team - the 1999 Champions League Final win over Bayern Munich.
Nicky and Paul take us from their flight out to Barcelona on Concorde to the celebrations in Manchester after. They discuss their contrasting emotions as Paul was suspended from the biggest game of his career and what they thought of Sir Alex Ferguson's starting eleven. We go down into the bowels of the Nou Camp as Nicky explains how he felt stood in the tunnel, separated from the Bayern players by a cage. Then, we're into the match itself, from the terrible start of losing a goal early - and who got the blame for that - to the manager's half-time team talk and, finally, to the unforgettable ending.
Along the way, they also recall when Mick Hucknall trained with them (and whether he could play), why Nicky thought he might be on his way out of the club that summer, and which United player was the first to leave the party after the final?

Man Utd legends share unheard 1999 Champions League Final stories | Football’s Greatest Eras
Where were YOU for the 1999 Champions League final? 🤔
12 years old, in my bedroom in Middleton, on a old high back wooden chair, jumped up, landed on the chair and it snapped and collapsed, dad went mad at me and sent me to bed 😂😂😂
@@Slabhead00 🤣🤣 Dictionary definition of scenes that
11 year old me in my room in Singapore at 5am with full plans to call in sick the next day and skip my Spanish exam 😂
In my living room with a pack of smarties and a lucozade. The ceiling ended up drinking more lucozade than me after i went crazy running around the house 😂One of the best nights of my life ❤
11years old, In my front room with my pals sobbing my eyes out as they abused me and next thing that united squad does what that united squad did and created magic that will live forever with every United fan..I still cry everytime I watch it, I’m crying right now thinking about it 😂 what a time to be alive 🙏
When my dad was in a hospice in his last days he actually had the 99 champ league final on a video playing as he passed thanks for the memory's when football was proper
Great story
@@dondamon4669 What a horrible thing to say!
@rosshaugh7937 low than a snakes ball bag 😂
@@staffh3815 😂 I was thinking similar..
Sorry to hear that, mate. I lost my Dad a couple of years ago, too. He was also in a hospice. His last words were 'Bryan Robson' - I was asking him United quiz questions. I'm sure both our Dads would have loved this podcast.
For any United fan this is gold. 2 absolute icons of the club, 2 local boys and 2 humble and down to earth lads. Brilliant 👏
im enjoying these guys and im a hammer
Nicky Butt is a proper likeable bloke. Top player. Miss those 90s early 2000s in football.
I think we Manchester United fans have been waiting for a podcast like this. 2 Legends of the Club. ❤
I'm a City fan and I agree.... 2 top class players....
Scholes was unbelievable....
💯 agree. We fans can’t get enough of the behind the scenes stories form club legends 🥰👍
Good players. UTVILLA
@@FortValance"and you got Nicky butt and he's tattooed in blue"
and me 2 good lads
Brilliant lads - I was fortunate enough to have a few beers with Nicky other week in Hale after Liverpool game. Often get told never to meet your hero(s). Wary I’d had several beers by the point Nicky arrived and not wanting to piss off a legend he could have told me to f*ck off but instead I got to have a conversation with him and grab a photo. A legend of the game and our club but above all incredibly grounded and modest. A proper gent. Cheers for the Peroni’s Nicky! 🙌
I've met him a few times in alti and sale I agree he always has time to chat .
Mmmm Peronis, he didn't sell you short either hehe
Nicky butt and Paul Scholes, wow, two people who were scare of tv interviews etc....and now this well done....
I’m a Celtic fan … these bhoys are two of the most genuine humble talented footballer probably ever to grace the pitch … I can always remember me an my mates were 12 years of age and some of us Celtic .. arsenal … Liverpool .. United fans but we were out playing football in our street .. new Barnsley park .. Belfast … and we heard our neighbours scream with joy twice in few mins an the street turned into a street party 😂😂😂😂 there our moments on our lives that with stay with us forever that night will always remain an amazing memory regardless who you supported … big bing Celtic fan from Belfast … keep doin your thing lads 💚❤️🍀🇮🇪
Hahahahahaha
@@viewparkloyal260 ya alright there ?
I love Scholesy so humble, genuine ' I might not have played' you always played. Buttsy what a player but we had riches back then
👍
Buttsy?? 😂 he will love you for that
@@mikeryan4055 🤣if I ever meet him I'll apologise
That's nonsense. He came off the bench plenty throughout his career.
read it how it was meant
Never thought I'd see the day seeing Scholesy do a podcast 😂
Haha same. Glad to see he realises his opinion is appreciated
What a revelation Nicky Butt is. Brilliant job hosting this we need to hear more from him.
I hope Sky and BBC are watching
This is possibly the best football podcast around, absolutely love listening to these guys
Big City fan here , but couldn’t help listen to these two. Absolutely admired them in the 90’s as everyone did! Podcasts is brilliant , like listening to mates 👍🏻
At Christmas time I put 250 quid on you guys winning the treble.I remember that nobody thought you would win a treble until quite late in the season. The bookies gave me 33/1 and pocketed about eight grand when you won it. As you can imagine, I went CRAZY when the two goals went in at the end. I have some fantastic memories because of you guys and I will never forget them.
Nice one brother 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Jesus 8k back then as well. That was a wedge ! That was a weeks wages for Jon Greening on the bench 😂
What a feeling, what a night...
This is outstanding. Just a couple of friends and teammates sitting down, having a chat.
Everton supporter here, and must say I am really enjoying listening to these guys podcasts, great players and a great insight, well done
One of the best football chats from two unpretentious legends. Happy memories
When Scholes was playing he was the last player you'd expect to go on and be a pundit because he was a man of very few words, but he's great, honest and doesn't try and over sensationalise everything, and obviously no one could have predicted he'd have a podcast and RUclips channel. NB is the United player you constantly hear being apart of all the hijinks but rarely hear his side of the story, really excited with this.
Nice to hear from Scholes as he never did interviews back in the day, so humble and don't to earth to
They both are but it's great yes
The happiest I've ever been about a RUclips channel, love ya butty but Scholesy is my all time hero Can't wait for more podcasts lads!
Sir Bobby survived Munich but nearly died from a Brian mcclair volley 😂😂😂 these r the stories we need to here about ,such a breath of fresh air ,2 best mates just reminiscing about there younger days ,my new favourite podcast 👏👏👏
These two are so humble and normal. Really great.
I could listen to stories about 99 forever. Great show lads 🔴
Brilliant lads … 🍻 I’m not a Man utd fan, but .. These are 2 genuine great players, and as humble as it gets .. outstanding.. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'm not a Man U fan but I really enjoyed that Scholesy seems much more comfortable in Butty's company
I underrated Butty as a player at that time, I must admit I was very much mistaken. Both great players and great to reminisce about those achievements! ❤️⚽
I’m 36 and I feel like this is Christmas morning..big fan from Ireland cheers lads 🫡🤍❤️
Wait I'm 36 from ireland feeling like Christmas morning..
Did we just become best friends?
@@outy01 😂😂😂😂😂 yep, do you wana do karate in the garage?
Im a liverpool red inside out I've got total respect with man utd always had to beat them you 2 were absolutely brilliant players 👏
As scouser l9ve listening to schoeley he's talks absolute genuine &knows wot he's on about p,us best midfielder ever butty sound too love this podcast
Two legendary footballers.
Thanks guys it’s finally good to hear players like butty tell us there experiences and as a fellow lifelong red Mancunian (my fathers a blue)
I just want to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for giving your everything for the club I love and for the memories
GGMU 💛💚
The best day of my life till date.I was 11 years old and watched it with my Dad.
No way so was I!! I turned 11 when Giggs scored against arsenal
I jumped down from 2 floors in celebration. And Iam talking Nigeria. Football wise the best day of my life.
I was 9, had to jump around my room in silence to avoid waking my sister up.
Meanwhile, my old man was in a boozer while working in Wales, lashing champagne everywhere.
We made up for it in 2008 though 😂
I remember my dad telling me to calm down with the celebrating, he was a Liverpool fan, nice memories though
As a Chelsea fan, it’s nearly 25 years since we beat you guys 5-0 at the bridge on my birthday, still one of my best games I’ve been to……looking forward to hearing Nicky’s take on his sending off 😅
Well done lads. Brings it all back.
👏
2 Legends who are down to earth. Brilliant
So glad you’ve started this podcast! It’ll be great! I LOVE hearing about the glory days under SAF at United! Please keep this going for years and tell all your stories!
6am here in vietnam, getting ready for work was a bit slow listening to this. I'm a gorton lad like Butty and was about 14 when we won that. I was on deansgate up on a shop doorway roof and it was pandemonium. We were all pissed, people were just walking into off licenses and just helping themselves to beer. One of the best few days of my life, i was at the semi and the final in the cup and at old trafford for the tottenham game. Only one i missed was the trip to barca coz my dad wanted to go with his mates, we didnt see him for 4 days after. To this day i have no idea where he ended up, he won't say, he just showed up in the middle of the night with a scarf for me singing his head off.
A brilliant time to be a red
I could listen to these stories all day. Legends. So grateful to you guys for making my younger years watching football so wonderful.
Brilliant. Lads. I was there 15 quid for a ticket. Mad. Missed the parade on our way to Manchester.
This is an absolute joy! Can't thank you enough for these memories x
Amazing lads thank you 💯👌🇬🇧🙏
Really enjoyed that, love hearing players talking about the past, nice one 👍
You’ve got a great thing going. I like the dynamic between you both. Keep it up, please.
What a team you guys had ...wow !! Liverpool fan ere great video lads
Awesome, it brings back amazing memories.
It's great to have a couple of Manchester lads talking
Literally one of the best night of my life thanks for the memories lads you dud us all proud
Just watching this and smiling like an idiot for the whole time… so good. Thanks for doing this… can’t beat those memories

BRILLIANT- LOVE YOU BOYS! YOU GAVE US SUCH GREAT MEMORIES. THE BEST!
Absolutely loved this lads. Two of my heroes and whilst being biased as a Massive United fan, and a member of the redhead brotherhood, it's so refreshing to hear truth and genuiness from such legends. Cannot wait for more. Love your work. UNITEDTILIDIE. Brilliant ep lads.
loved it. brought back so many memories, as I was also at the Nou Camp that night.
The fact Scholes doesn’t feel like a champions league champion is crazy. Mate we’re won because you and Roy’s contribution to get there
Bloody brilliant! So happy to see Butty and Scholesy together…will be one of my go to podcasts!
Good to have you on board
Wow, this is brilliant, cannot wait to listen to all the tales you two absolute legends are going to tell. It’ll feel like we’re reliving the glory days all over again
Very pleased about the arrival of this podcast. Two great personalities
When I saw these 2 legends had a RUclips channel I was shocked but what an amazing surprise! Love you guys ❤ Can't wait for the next
Brilliant stuff lads! Loved every minute of this as a red, it's great to hear two genuine legends like Butty & Scholesy chatting openly about the old days. Keep it coming, please 😃
Brilliant...love listening to Scholes and Butt, very interesting
Been waiting ages for this podcast. 2 real legends of the English game ❤
Great memories.. smiling all the way through listening to that, the bus parade the day after was amazing ,so many emotions.
It was like sitting comfortably and listening to friends chatting, great job 👏 can’t wait for the next podcast 😊
Love it guys and thanks for everything you did for our great club I have so many great memories of you both playing and it’s great to see that you still love the club
Keep up the good work and we look forward to the next episode 😊
Thanks for your memories lads , I have never felt so high and happy as I did that night it was truelly a night to remember.
Glad you enjoyed it
Goosebumps!! Now this, is content ❤ Great to see and hear from you lads, keep the stories and opinions coming 👌
10/10. Absolutely brilliant well done.
Great stuff. Nothing will ever tip the 98-99 season again. Best time of my life.
First podcast I've watched with you two guys. Loved it - the stories and sharing of moments you experienced in 1999 treble season was so fascinating to hear.
You are both clearly closest friends ..I'm not a man u fan but
During the 80s 90s anc 00a my 2nd favourite team 👍...I don't think man u will ever replicate your era as football has changed so much on and off pitch.
Will watch another one for sure
Loved it, great podcast this for us utd fans 👏👏
This is brilliant lads. More of this please.
More podcasts are needed lads. The behind the scenes stuff is so good for us fans 👍
Definitely needed this and more
More to come mate, don't you worry
I can remember going mad at that 99 CL final team selection. Like “what is he doing?” We didn’t play well and we were unbelievably lucky. But what a night. Best ever.
Great podcast, good to listen to you both. 👍
This is fantastic
great memories of a great night.
I could listen to these two for ever. Awesome podcast lads
Nice one David 👏
They should make a film of the class of 92 , absolute legends . Thankyou for the memories fellers 🔴⚪️⚫️
Its clear these lads are very good friends. Ive not seen Scholes open up like that. Great chat!
Great to hear Nicky. Proper Manc lad!
Not a Utd fan am Arsenal but this was great listening to two legends of Man U. I think everyone was backing Utd that night.
Brilliant lads. From a Manc in Cape Town, South Africa!
Great to hear from two different players of the class of 92', hopefully the first of many!
We had to go 1 nil down in the final ... That's when I knew we would win it.... All the comebacks that season it was incredible I remember every game... Thanks for the memories lads we love you guys....
These legends will forever eternally are IMMORTAL!!!!😊
Thanks for the memories lads. 15 years old watching the final in my late grandparents home. I wouldn't swap that for anywhere else in the world.
What memories ❤️
Love this! Two old mates, who’ve known each other from childhood, just chewing the fat! Brilliant!
Absolutely loved it lad, top stuff!
Brilliant really enjoyed it! Looking forward to the next installment!!!
I saw AF at pontefract races less than 48 hrs after the final lol
U can tell scholesy loves butty he actually looks happy to chat and have a laugh with him
Agreed most comfortable I’ve seen him
Imagine I’ve just jumped on RUclips & the algorithm has suggested a new United podcast by 2 absolute legends of the club! Well done lads and all the best success with the podcast 😎🔴
Great to finally hear for nicky butt , good job lads. Like the boss used to say "well done".
Amazing! More of these please!
Might sound biased here but this is the best podcast I've watched by a mile 👏 thankyou 👍
The two reasons i support United, cant wait for the rest of these podcasts
Thanks lads!
Yes…..x2 of my heroes, Luv it lads 🙏👍
I’m a city supporter and your both a pair of good lads brings back so many memories I’m same age from Stockport near gorton Nicky 🤣🤣⚽️
This is great because it's making Scholes think because when he does punditry he generally doesn't tend to remember these little anecdotes as much so it's interesting to hear him on the past successes. Bet he loves being a podcast presenter!
Yeah, this format is really digging out little nuggets that would otherwise be glossed over and forgotten.
2 great lads..
Top notch lads 👊
I love this 🙌🏻
