Class of 92

by Ian Marshall

Overview

In May 1992, Fergie's Fledglings won the FA Youth Cup for the first time in a generation, since the era of George Best. David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville and Paul Scholes were all part of United's youth set-up in 1992 - by 2011, they had won 42 league title medals between them and all of them played a key role in United's famous Treble-winning side of 1999. Their achievements will surely never be matched. On the 20thAnniversary of their win, their story reveals how sometimes dreams really do come true.
