Pep documentary on BBC

[Kippax77]

Just wished they're carried on with the Pep/Jose rivalry in Manchester.
Would of topped off a great watch

 

[meeesh]

It amazed me how much footage there was when he was a kid, they must have known he was destined to become a great, and with Cruyff taking him under his wing, it's like weird how it panned out, like I say destined.

I will cry when he leaves us, if he ever does that is (fingers crossed that he stays forever)

Bowie and Pep , love them.both !

And Cruyff! Only Clint and Borg missing.

The ending of the programme was very emotional. The decision to include Bowie's sound and vision as a musical backdrop was perfect. Two Geniuses together.

Indeed

Don't be so disrespectful. Of course Sir Alex was visionary. He could spot an opening in the traffic at 500 yards so he could drive down the hard shoulder for a shite.

That made me laugh out loud !

Great watch but would've like to have seen Pep being interviewed

At one point I thought that but then realised it was somehow fitting that he wasn’t interviewed. It was more interesting hearing other people’s views on him without thinking ah well they’re only saying that because he is around. It was people reminiscing and talking affectionately but without over sentimentality. (Except for Winter of course)
Does that make sense? :-)

Cruyff has always been my non City hero,I was 9 in 1974 when he amazed and dazzled me at the world cup,i was mega pissed off when Holland didn't win it.
Said to my nipper last night watching it, how funny his protege went on to be our most decorated and gifted manager.
There's a reason for everything, Viva Pep.
