God of Manchester , Sir Alex Ferguson

By -
Sir Alex Ferguson , Fergie was a Scottish Football manager, born 31 December 1941 in Govan, Glasgow. After a successful spell at Aberdeen, Alex Ferguson moved to Manchester United in 1986. Ferguson led the club to an unprecedented series of success – revitalising the club and becoming one of the most successful managers in the modern game. He is renowned for his ability to motivate key players, and blend stars into a team. He has also had frequent run ins with referees for his outspoken criticisms.
Alexander Beaton Ferguson was born in Govan, Glasgow on 31 Dec. 1941. His father was a shipbuilder. He grew up in a tenement on Govan Road, and he always remembers his working class roots and relative poverty the family faced. He is one of the Labour parties biggest financial supporters. He attended Govan High school, but was not interested in studying and at the age of 16, started his amateur playing career, making his début for Queens Park.

The 1965-66 season was a breakthrough year for Ferguson scoring 45 goals in 51 games. This led to him being bought by his childhood team Rangers for £65,000.
Ferguson then moved to Falkirk and Ayr, before retiring at the age of 32 in 1974.
Almost as soon as he finished his playing career, he was offered a chance to move into football manager – despite his very young age of 32. His first club was East Stirlingshire on a part time basis. That year he moved to St Mirren, where he was manager from 1974-78. The club achieved promotion to the First Division and revitalised their performance.
However, in 1978, he was sacked by St Mirren, allegedly for allowing unauthorised payments to players and breaching his contract by going to Aberdeen.
From 1978 to 1986 he presided over a very successful period for the small Scottish club. In 1980, Ferguson led Aberdeen to their first league title since 1955, and the first time in 15 years that the title hadn’t been won by the old firm (Rangers and Celtic).
Turning down an opportunity to move to Derby, Ferguson led Aberdeen to the European Cup Winner’s cup in 1983, becoming only the third Scottish team to win the European cup. He also led Aberdeen to domestic cup wins in 1982-83 and 1983-84.
In 1986, he was approached by many leading clubs, and after a brief stint as manager of Scotland, he accepted an offer to move to Manchester United.
Ferguson took over as boss of the renowned but underachieving Manchester United club in November 1986. His job was reportedly on the line after a particularly rough stretch early in the 1989-90 season, but the Reds recovered to win the FA Cup that year and a string of successes followed: the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1991, the League Cup in '92 and the elusive Premier League championship in '93.

 Ferguson's crowning achievement came in the 1998-'99 season, when he became the first manager of a British side to win the treble: the Premier League championship, the FA Cup and the European Cup. It marked the start of a stretch in which United won three consecutive Premier League titles, and four in five years. In 2003, Ferguson received the Manager of the Decade award, presented by the FA Premier League to mark the first 10 years of the Premiership.

 Ferguson again led his side to three straight Premier League titles from 2007-'09, along with European Cup and FIFA Club World Cup victories in 2008, and back-to-back League Cups in 2009-'10. In December 2010, he surpassed the 24-year-plus tenure of Sir Matt Busby to become the longest-serving manager in United's history. Fittingly, he ended the season with another milestone victory that gave United a record 19 Premier League championships.

 In May 2013, Alex Ferguson finally announced his retirement from football, aged 72. He left at the end of the 2012-13 season to widespread acclaim. He also had the joy of seeing Manchester United to their 13th title. His retirement was met with widespread acclaim, with many in the game stating they were unlikely to ever see the like of Alex Ferguson again.
