Weren't Celtic the first British team to win a treble including a European Cup?
They won the quadruple, which was their domestic league, cup and league cup combined with the European Cup. United were knocked out of the League Cup by Spurs in '99 so they didn't win every competition they won. But you could say that they won the treble, but it would be missing out on 1 of their cups
1 of the greatest sporting occasions I've ever been at

The late Lt Gen Dermot Earley is carried from the field of play by the Mayo players after the 1985 Connacht final, his final game for his beloved Roscommon.
It is testament to the esteem and regard that he was held in that instead of celebrating their crushing victory over the favourites, the Mayo players instead chose to applaud and carry Earley shoulder high from the field of play.
How many times can any of us remember that happening before or since?
The word legend doesn't do him or his memory justice.0 -

First off, I cant find any pictures of this online, so apologies for the video:p
Carlos Sainz looses the World Rally Championship 500 meters from the finish of the last stage of the last rally of the season. I still get a lump in my throat watching this.
