YOU ROCK MY WORLD
Tuesday, 8 November 2011


By the end of Sir Alex Ferguson's 25th anniversary weekend it felt like the only thing his club had forgotten was for the oldest and most successful manager in the business to be given the freedom of Manchester. Ferguson will have to make do with a stand named in his honour, a statue to follow, the framed photograph and too many slaps on the back to count. And, besides, he is already a freeman of Glasgow. "I'm allowed to hang my washing on Glasgow Green. And if I ever get arrested in the city I'm entitled to my own cell. Which could come in handy at some point."

The mood was light, full of levity and banter, on the day the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand was unveiled and, for one of the few times in the past quarter of a century, the old man had to hold up his hands and admit he did not know what was going on inside his own club. "I've told him he must be losing his touch," Steve Bruce, the Sunderland manager, said of his former manager. "I've never known anything at Manchester United be kept secret."
