RIP, hopefully with the great man's blessing, we get chance to acknowledge her contribution to United at tomorrow's game.
Irwin being interviewed as a player just shows how long ago that was. What he achieved after his initial 'retirement' was arguably just as impressive as what he had already achieved.Tweet

That's fantastic, and I imagine he loved and valued being kept grounded in that manner.RIP to Cathy. I remember my mum telling me a story of SAF and Cathy. My mum worked in an electrical store and SAF and Cathy came in to get a new oven. SAF first got a bollocking from her for not showing an interest in a new oven. Then when he ventured an opinion, he received a reply of what does he know about ovens?
Probably was the only person in the world who could treat SAF that way and still get his devotion

This what worries me too and we are so far far away of winning league atm, atleast Sir Matt was able to witness his club winning the league in the last months of his life.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.
The only sad thing I feel is that SAF will have wanted to go first. Other than that, long happy and fulfilled life, nothing to be scared of in the cycle of life and death at that age.Rest in Peace but also congratulations to them both as almost 6 decades of a loving marriage is absolutely winning in life and as such it should be celebrated not just mourned.
Strength to Sir Alex and his family members.
