Happy Birthday Sir Alex

Post by tiger76 » Fri Dec 31, 2021 12:31 pm

Arguably the greatest British manager ever turns 80 today.

Have a good one Fergie.

Yes you can’t argue against his achievements. Hope he has a good one.

Always supportive of Burnley, especially after the ITV digital fiasco. Great manager.

I 'hated' United and Fergie through the nineties and noughties, but I love reading and watching programmes about Sir Alex these days. I've nothing but respect for him and his achievements.

80 - coincidentally, the same number of points gained in Fergie time throughout his career.

No doubt, but Sean won't have been the only manager bending Fergie's ear for advice.
