Highlights include:

"Boss I never scared of you, but I always scared to disappoint you!"

Also,

Evra: "He (Ferguson) kill me my whole life!". Fergie: "Wait till your next life." :lol:


I thought I'd share this as I needed this after last few weeks!

That’s just beautiful to see . I kept smiling sheepishly through it all and I still have the smile on my face.

What comfort this video brings!!!

Beautiful stuff.

Love how he happily shouted "Cath!" when his wife approached. Hope retirement is treating him well

There's something about the way his ex players still refer to him as boss or the boss. It shows how much respect they still have for him.

What a great little clip.
I think what Evra writes just summarises what Ferguson was all about, he knew exactly how to motivate the side, and the individuals. Ties in a bit to what Keane said about him a couple of years ago.

Jesus, that's a really amazing video.
The trust and respect Sir Alex commands is amazing.
What a man.

Love how he opens up a bit at the end re the respect he had for him. That's proper father figure stuff.

Only thing that could make this better is if Park suddenly popped his head from around the corner! :)

Kath? Surely we need her out too? Can’t be having any references back to the SAF days now. I bet she doesn’t even have any patterns of play in her Outlook diary.

Need to get onto Pat to get onto his buddy Ed to not hire Brentan.

This Is why I want Ole so much to succeed..

My 12 year old daughter is also a united fan and she Loves watching all the old YouTube videos of United in the late 90s early 2000s who would have thought we would have been in such a mess when Sir Alex left... #heartbreaking xx

Great video, lovely moment. Makes me super nostalgic for that time. I may need to get that book now.

Every now and again there is a moment of genius in there though.

He can lick as many raw chickens as he likes, that's just great.

Jaysis, I miss Fergie.

SAF :) The reverence his players have for him is incredible.

He still feels like the embodiment of the football club and everything that followed a mere cheap knock off that has no meaning.
