This episode hones in on Ferguson's humble Glasgow upbringing, his playing career and formative years in management that culminated with Aberdeen's incredible underdog story and their remarkable victory in the 1983 European Cup Winners' Cup over continental giants Real Madrid.

Former players such as Mark McGhee and Willie Miller reveal the origins of that Aberdeen story and how Ferguson first reaped the rewards of his faith in youth.

That unwavering belief in young players is also explored by revealing interviews with a number of his former players such as Nicky Butt, Denis Irwin and Dwight Yorke, as they look back on Manchester United's thrilling European Cup victory over Bayern Munich in 1999.

This first of two episodes focuses on the formative years of Ferguson's storied career, exploring how and why the son of a Scottish shipbuilder became one of the most influential people in the history of football.
