The Class of '92 (2013)
Directed by Ben &
Gabe Turner this documentary features contributes from footballers
and non-footballers. We follow six players who came through the youth
system at Manchester United at the same time and rose all the way to
become champions of Europe together.
Mostly this
documentary focuses on friendship and the bond between players who
experienced something so unique together which does work fairly well
but does come across as a pretty gentle narrative. Even as a United
fan I found this a bit too celebratory and I really wanted more on
the story of these players coming through the youth ranks as well as
the players that did not make it. I could have done with out some of
the non-football contributions such as Tony Blair trying to build
some greater narrative about Britain of the time but this is still an
enjoyable watch.
3/5
