Synopsis

The twenty men connected to Manchester United Football Club who died in the Munich Air Disaster made a new home on Red Cloud. They were joined over the years by Jackie, Johnny, Dennis, Jimmy Murphy and, of course, Sir Matt Busby. During 16th May 1999 and 26th May 1999, in Red Cloud Bar, they watched three football matches unfold in the same time as those of us here, Down Below. First, the final game of the season against Spurs saw Manchester United lift the Premiership trophy at Old Trafford. On the 22nd May, the FA Cup game against Newcastle. The twenty-five men witnessed Manchester United celebrate achieving yet another Double under Alex Ferguson. The final game of the historic Treble season, Manchester United were pitted against the Goliath of Bayern Munich, in the Champions League Final in Barcelona. Watched by millions on earth and Up Above. Ten Days in May follows the build-up Up Above, before the games. A four-a-side match between the Babes, a pre-match movie and birthday celebrations. Follow the pre-match rituals, the conversations, the hopes, the desires and the nail-biting finish as history was made. It is possible that the twenty-five dead men could have watched the games like this. Who knows?
