    The Boss

    I am from Turkey and never lived in England. If i cry at the end of this documentary do you imagine range of his power?

    Amazing leader, wonderful history and just three words like Jose Mourinho said;

    "He's the boss."

    Shock, another United documentary that ends at 1999

    Firstly, I genuinely really liked this documentary. It was so much better than The United Way which has come out around the same time.

    Not a United fan personally, but big fan of Sir Alex Ferguson. Very interesting to see about how he was brought up, early days as a player, manager of Aberdeen etc.

    What is annoying as a football fan watching these documentaries is that, for the most part, they all end after the 1999 champions league final. Save for about 5/6 minutes at the end.

    There's been tons of success in the following 20+ years, some great title & Cup wins including another UCL, still during the Ferguson years which could've been included.

    Still, SAF what a great manager & man.

    As good as Senna...

    The best football documentary ever. Poignant, deep and stirring.

    In this day and age it is great to listen to stories of struggle and triumphs.

    My only regret is that it wasn't longer. I'd have loved to have heard more about how Sir Alex managed his life post 1999.

    Arguably the greatest sports documentary movie

    A documentary on Sir Alexander Chapman Ferguson. A documentary that sheds light on the dark days he went through to achieve the marvels which made him the living legend he is today. Hands down the best sport documentary movie I have ever seen.

    A MUST WATCH!!

    Every once in a while, we get something that makes us want to keep our sporting rivalries aside and come together for the sport. This doc is one such time, it is a must watch for any football fan.

    The story is more about Fergie, his origins, values and beliefs and not about United, in case you're wondering.

    If you're a fan of Manchester United, this just might be a tear-jerker.

    As a doc, this was VERY WELL made, great shots, great music, great story telling, great color correction, etc. It's well less than 2 hours, I wished it had more. I can go on, but I'll stop here.
