It is not every day you get to reminisce with a football legend, but Jewish brothers Ben and Gabe Turner have been able to do exactly that — only not with just one legend, but with six.

The Turners have directed the film, The Class of ’92, which tells the personal stories of David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and the Neville brothers, Gary and Phil — tracing their development from 12-year-old schoolboys in Manchester United’s youth academy, to international superstars.

The brothers, former members of the Bnei Akiva youth group, may be Londoners who support Sunderland but they jumped at the chance of making the film.

“It was an amazing opportunity. We were desperate to do it,” said Ben.
