Oh no, this will hit the boss hard, he idolised her and retired so that he could finally spend more time with her. I’m just glad he got to do that, RIP.

Very sad news. Thoughts are with the Ferguson family. Poor SAF. 
Oh my goodness. I just got in and saw this
Rest well Cathy. An absolute legend.

Absolutely. She is as much a part of our success under Sir Alex as the great man himself.

Devastated for him. My Grandad passed away last June and my Grandma, the toughest woman I know has basically given up on life since. The way Sir Alex talked about Cathy makes me think she was the driving force behind him and without her we should all be worried.
Was one of my first thoughts as well.
RIP.
Probably the most underrated piece in United's two and a bit decades of success. The way Sir Alex always talked her, it was she who made it possible for him to do the job he did. From the day he walked through the doors for the first time, to when he finally walked away to spend more time with her after she lost her sister.

RIP lady Cathy. I feel sad for Sir AlexYou generally find that if the wife dies first and they’ve been together most of their lives, the men generally follow soon after. Happened to both sets of grandparents and a lot of my parents friends now are dropping quickly after their spouses.
Hopefully Fergie has a bit of life left in him yet.

So sad news rest in peace Lady SAF.
Incredibly sad, rest in peace.
Rest in peace. I hope the family is doing the best they can. Very sad.
Was saying exact same thing to my wife earlier. Her mum passed and her dad followed very shorty after. It’s not too uncommon I don’t think, especially when the wife goes first.
Very sad, RIP.
Was only thinking this week that I hadn’t noticed the TV cameras showing Sir Alex much lately, this probably explains why.

Very sad news, she was his rock and this will hit him hard. RIP Cathy
Sad news. RIP, Lady Cathy Ferguson.
Haven’t seen him in the stands the latest games. Guess this is the reason then.
RIP - also a reminder that soon the most significant man in football history eventually won’t be with us. Stomach hurts already.

Very sorry to hear that.
RIP Cathy and heartfelt condolences to sir Alex and his family
Very sad news indeed. It’s hard to imagine how SIr Alex is feeling right now, losing his wife of almost sixty years. He has spoken about Cathy many times over the years; clearly she was the constant rock in his life. Let’s hope her loss doesn’t take a dramatic toll on Fergie’s health, as so often happens when an elderly person loses their spouse. He will be surrounded by the support of so many people, which is a great advantage.
RIP Cathy and best wishes to Sir Alex and the family.

Sir Alex always said Lady Cathy was his rock and she was beside him throughout his incredible football career spanning decades. SAF used to joke that Cathy was "The Boss" and the two of them made a remarkable pair. All who love Manchester United will be grieving for both Lady Cathy and Sir Alex. R.I.P. Lady Cathy.
Really feel for Sir Alex right now, hope he and his family can find peace.
Very sad to hear. More affected by this than any Utd decade of shiteness.
Now I just hope like many other older couples that Sir Alex doesn't go somewhat shortly afterwards.
After years of extreme commitment to his work he finally quit when her sister passed, and spent ten years with her. A chunk of which were spent recovering from his brain haemorrhage. She encouraged him to keep working and stood by him as his rock and support. Is the epitome of a good partner and likely quite hard to find in today's society.
Thoughts with Sir Alex as he deals with the loss.
