YouTube - man utd v arsenal fa cup semi final replay 1999

I still remember watching this match on tape delay with a class mate from law school, another United fan.

So much happened in this match:
SAF starting Solskaer and Sherringham to give Cole and Yorke a rest
Beckham's superb goal that got eclipsed by the second.
United dominating play
Marc Overmars coming on and turning the momentum in Arsenal's favor in the second half
Bergkamp's equalizer off Stam's knee
Anelka's goal waved off for offsides as happened to United in the first match
Keane gets sent off
Phil Neville's inexplicable tackle on Parlour for the penalty and Schmichel's subsequent save
Schmichel injures himself saving another Bergkamp shot
Giggs' winner
the crowd on the field after the goal and as the game ends.


Still one of the very best matches I have ever seen and when I truly became a United fan for life.

It's my brother's birthday today.

How's that relevent? Because I missed the first 90 minutes of that game as I was at a restaurant with him and my parents. :mad:

Still a top match though.

I never grow tired of watching that goal...

I heard a story last week on TalkSport speculating that United may retire the Number 11 kit after Giggs hangs up his boots.
