RIP. Hits more because she was such a source of strength for SAF during our best years.

Lady Cathy Ferguson - Sir Alex Ferguson's wife has passed away
- Thread starter sifi36
- Start date
It was telling how often the boss would credit his wife. She must have been quite a force to keep him in line!
Very sad news. RIP Lady Cathy, they truly loved each other.
Ah sad news, RIP
RIP
This hits hard. I lost my grandmother a few years ago and my grandfather has been a different person since so I completely get what you mean. It's incredibly sad watching them change.
Heartbreaking, as always, it feels like family. Hope the family are holding up okay.
R.I.P
When one considers the great man himself is 80+, and how losing one's long-term partner at old age can affect a person, I really hope he has more years left.

Ah no, that's really sad news. RIP Cathy and deep thoughts and support for SAF and the rest of the family. Hopefully the supporters tomorrow can give appropriate respects and support to the big man.
That's so sad. RIP Mrs. Ferguson
RIP. It was down to hear we got 11 more amazing years under that great man.
Hopefully the club do a fitting tribute to her.
Wow did that feel like a punch in the gut. I’m genuinely gutted for the great man. Rest in peace.
Black armbands and a minutes silence tomorrow is a must.

May she rest in peace
Rest In Peace and Thank you for everything.
Glad he retired when he did if it meant they spent more time together.
Very sad news. RiP Lady Ferguson.
Very sad news. Condolences to SAF and the family.
Also this.
RIP. Lady Cathy
I hope the club gives Fergie some active role to help him fill that void. Otherwise, it may not be long for him either.

Horrible news. RIP Cathy
RIP
Hope they had a good decade of his retirement together. She seemed to be a pretty good wife considering she wasn’t into football from what I recall and letting him work until he was 70, despite him pretty much doing everything at 60.

Hit surprisingly hard, knowing how Sir Alex spoke of her and how important she was. Thoughts with the great man and his family.

Thank you Cathy for everything.
Experienced the same thing in my family. Lets keep the focus on her though. She deserves it and we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves. It is a sad occasion as it is.
He's given us enough, if he wants to go, the great man can go.
She always felt as a part of United family. I respect what she did for us by supporting SAF. Im sad. Simple as that.
Terrible news, RIP Lady Cathy Ferguson.
Agreed on the sentiment that it's great Ferguson retired at a good time to enjoy time with his family.

I believe she was instrumental in convincing Fergie to not retire in the early 2000's? She's been an invisible force this whole time!
Very sad, I'm sure SAF has no regrets in leaving when he did to spend more time with her.
So sudden and so sad. RIP Cathy. 
Very sad for the family. Sixty years together is a great innings. RIP
She woke him up from a nap and said ‘you’re not bloody retiring if this is the alternative’. Behind every great man etc…
RIP Cathy.
Such sad news.
RIP Lady Cathy
RIP Lady Cathy
Rest in peace, it's such a shame that Sir Alex couldn't spend more of his retirement with her. I feel sorry for their children, losing a parent leaves a massive void in your life
He'll be lost without her. He adored her from the moment he met her.
I may be wrong but it was more to do with ‘I’m not having you moping around the house when clearly want to be involved’ than Cathy being your average joe United fan.
Sir Bobby Robson was apparently instrumental too, where he basically told him to not retire for the sake of it and keep going if you enjoy it.
