Manchester United fans have been offered a sneak preview of the new 'definitive' documentary series about their historic 1999 Treble win.
'99', which is produced by the company behind the 'Beckham' Netflix series, will air on Amazon Prime Video on May 17 and have three parts.
It features exclusive interviews with Sir Alex Ferguson, Beckham, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Peter Schmeichel, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and others as they chart that extraordinary season 25 years on.
Ferguson's side won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in the most dramatic fashion, writing themselves into football history.
The trailer, which dropped on Tuesday, begins with the climactic moments of the Champions League final in Barcelona when goals by Teddy Sheringham and Solskjaer in the dying moments snatched glory from the jaws of defeat.
'Only this will define you - forever,' says goalkeeper Schmeichel, before Beckham says: '1999 - it had been a hell of a season,' a reference to his vilification after being sent off for England at the 1998 World Cup.
The Neville brothers, Gary and Phil, plus Ferguson's assistant Steve McClaren are then seen describing the 'desperation', 'heartache', 'pain' and 'sheer fear' of United's tightrope act in three competitions.
'There was no time to rest,' says Ferguson, who was knighted after United's achievements.
Dwight Yorke and Sheringham then appear to talk about the intense rivalry with Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, whom United pipped to the title on the final day and beat in an epic FA Cup semi-final.
There's a glimpse of Ryan Giggs' famous solo goal to defeat Arsenal in the semi-final replay and the moments of desperations before the miracle turnaround against Bayern Munich.
Amazon's blurb for the series reads: 'The documentary follows the astonishing road to greatness with untold stories from inside the team, revealing the dressing room conflicts, personal struggles and miraculous moments behind the legendary season, which culminated in the most unbelievable comeback victory in football.
'The series is both a love letter to one of the greatest achievements in world football and the story of a group of players who were recruited, coached and moulded by Sir Alex Ferguson to create history.
'The documentary also includes never-before-seen archive footage as well as behind-the-scenes candid video from the club and fans.'
'99' is produced by John Battsek's Ventureland in association with Beckham's Studio 99 and Buzz16. The director is Sampson Collins.
A phenomenal 33-match unbeaten run after Boxing Day swept United to glory in the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.
The league title race went until the final day, with United ultimately finishing a point ahead of Arsenal after they came from behind to beat Tottenham 2-1 at Old Trafford.
Newcastle were then dispatched 2-0 at Wembley as Ferguson's side made it a Double by winning the FA Cup the following weekend.
Having knocked out Inter Milan and Juventus in the knockout stages, the team then beat Bayern Munich 2-1 in stoppage time at the Nou Camp to complete their incredible feat.
