What a great tribute this morning for MF Sir Alex Ferguson. What a legend!
During Ferguson's 26 years at United, there have been five US presidents and five UK prime ministers. There have been ten Liverpool managers, twelve England managers and, of course, nineteen Manchester City managers.
Sir Alex is our man,' gushed Holmes and it was hard to argue. Should football clubs be erecting statues of managers while they are still working for them? It is a moot point and one that Ferguson himself even referred to.
'People normally die before they get a statue,' he said. 'I'm outliving death.'
'Somebody has to control me and Cathy is the only one who can,' he quipped as his wife climbed the podium to do the honours.
'Mind you, I've made her promise to come here every Saturday morning and bow down in front of me.'
