Customer Reviews

Good stuff, but where are the other classics?
A highly enjoyable and worthwhile DVD, with some great action, the best of which features the team from the early to mid seventies. It's easy to forget what a flamboyant and talented group of individuals they were, and when they gelled as a team, they were unstoppable: Just witness the 5-0 demolition of Chelsea. However, my quibble is the exclusion of two games ITV originally broadcast which must be in their archives, namely the 4-3 against Forest and the 2-0 against Burnley from the 73/74 FA Cup run: Any United fan would want top see these two games, and indeed the Burnley semi-final has been shown on ITV4's Big Match programme I believe. Still worth having, but these would have made it a 5 star product.
