The premiere of the documentary about Manchester United's 1998-99 treble season brought together plenty of stars of that season - including those who weren't on great terms

Andy Cole and Teddy Sheringham weren't always on the best of terms during their time as Manchester United team-mates, but neither let that stop them attending the premiere of an upcoming documentary looking at the treble season in which they both played a big part.

Sheringham's equaliser in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich was crucial to United's success, but they wouldn't have got there without Cole helping see off Juventus in the semis. Cole played a bigger part in the league title win, with 17 goals to Sheringham's two, but Sheringham made a decisive impact in the FA Cup final victory.

Both were in attendance for the premiere of '99', the Amazon Prime documentary about the memorable season. They were joined there by other big names from the treble campaign, including David Beckham, Dwight Yorke and Peter Schmeichel.

Cole and Sheringham might have made important contributions at an individual level, but they weren't exactly on the best of terms off the pitch. Here, Mirror Football takes a closer look at the feud between the former colleagues.

While it wasn't until 1997 that Sheringham joined Cole at Old Trafford, the feud went back further than that. "It was early 1995, I had recently signed for Manchester United, and it was my England debut, against Uruguay," Cole explained in a column for The Independent in 2010. "I was a sub. I came on for Sheringham after about 70 minutes. You'll need to understand what was in my head at that moment to get even close to comprehending my reaction to what happened next.

"I was so nervous it was frightening. This was the culmination of a lifetime of ambition. You hear the cliché, "It means everything to play for my country". But trust me, it did. Not just for me, but for my family, my parents especially, who had endured all kinds of hardships to give us the chances we had. Becoming a pro had been incredible. Now the magnitude of playing for England was indescribable. The moment has arrived.

"I walk on to the pitch, 60,000 or so watching. Sheringham is coming off. I expect a brief handshake, a "Good luck, Coley", something. I am ready to shake. He snubs me. He actively snubs me, for no reason I was ever aware of then or since. He walks off. I don't even know the bloke so he can't have any issue with me. We're fellow England players, it is my debut and he snubs me.

"You know what my immediate thoughts were? "Jesus Christ! How many people just saw Teddy Sheringham do that to me?" I was embarrassed. I was confused. And there you have it. From that moment on, I knew Sheringham was not for me."

Two years after that snubbing, the pair were club team-mates as Alex Ferguson brought Sheringham to Old Trafford. The bad blood hadn't dissipated, but the pair were able to broadly go about their business... up until a match against Bolton in the 1997-98 season.

Cole scored a late equaliser in the Old Trafford match, preventing United from losing a third straight league game. However, Sheringham blamed his fellow frontman for the Trotters' goal and it didn't go down too well.

“I run up the tunnel and just as he gets to the dressing room, I’m ready to steam in," Cole would later recall. "I’m screaming all sorts and trying to throw punches, but everyone’s on me, pulling us apart.

“The next thing I know, Roy Keane has me up against the wall and he’s shouting in my face. ‘What the **** are you doing, Coley? Sort yourself out. We’re a team.’"

Despite the pair not seeing eye to eye, United were still able to get the results they needed. That, as Cole explained, was in no small part down to manager Ferguson.

"He understood me as a person and even with the Teddy Sheringham thing he was fantastic," Cole would later tell The Guardian. "He mentioned it to me once and then let it go."

Sheringham has spoken less frequently about the relationship with Cole. However, based on comments from the former Spurs and West Ham man in 2019, there's a sense they might be on better terms these days.

"We never got on as players," Sheringham told The Mail. "You get on with some people in the workplace, but some you don't like and don't want to be around. That was the case with me and Andy. We just didn't click. But we've made our peace."

Sheringham opened up on a chance encounter at a nightclub which played its part in them being on better terms. "I was out with my mates and he was with his wife Shirley. I saw him walking towards me and I thought to myself 'hold up'," he said.

"He's got quite a deadpan face anyway. There wasn't a big smile. I thought: 'Here goes. Maybe after all these years...' I had my guard up. He came towards me and I could see Shirley looking at me thinking, 'f***ing hell, what's going to happen?'

"He put his hand out and said, 'let bygones be bygones and put everything behind us'. I said, 'wow, I didn't expect that. No problem'. I shook his hand and that was that."

At the end of the 1998-99 season, Cole scored the title-winning goal after replacing Sheringham against Spurs, while the roles were reversed in Barcelona when Sheringham's leveller came afte Cole made way for eventual match-winner Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. At the time, the team-mates were arguably not even on speaking terms, but time can be a healer.
