The Official Manchester United Podcast Manchester United

In a first for the UTD podcast, this week we have a referee, and not just any referee, former head of referees, Keith Hackett. For this one Sam & Helen are joined by Wes Brown who is filling in for Maysie.
In a career spanning from 1972 to 1994, Keith worked in the English Football League (and international football) as a linesman and referee. He refereed the 1990–91 league encounter between Manchester United and Arsenal at Old Trafford, a match notorious for the 21-man brawl breaking out just after the hour mark. Keith also refereed his last ever match at Old Trafford, a game between United and Liverpool. 
Keith later worked as a referees' assessor before, on 1 March 2004, he was appointed general manager of the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL).
Today Keith talks about a long career refereeing at the top level of football, his relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson, as well as how the game is changing. Warning - VAR chat incoming!

25 years ago, Manchester United made English football history, when they won the treble of the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League. With a nucleus of homegrown stars, Alex Ferguson and his team went on a remarkable 33 game unbeaten run to reach the promised land. 
Where there is a true moment in time, a ‘where were you?’ moment, there is a desire to relive it. And not just relive it. To feel what it was like before it happened. To remember that anticipation. To bask in the moment and soak it in just one more time. Now you can.
Narrated by Paddy Barclay, produced by Wayne Barton and using rare unheard audio from the collection of Tom Tyrrell, this episode of the Manchester United Podcast places you on May 14th, 1999, two days before the final Premier League game against Tottenham Hotspur. You will hear from the players as they navigated through the following days, on the brink of history, experiencing it as it happened.
This is Manchester United, on the edge of glory.
