"I was terrified," says Sir Alex Ferguson, recalling his return to Old Trafford after a brain haemorrhage in May 2018. Four months after emergency surgery, the legendary former Manchester United manager watched his beloved club face Wolves, unsure of the reception. He and his wife Cathy received a standing ovation.
Ferguson, who retired in 2013 after winning 38 trophies, including 13 Premier League titles, now releases his new book 'Games of My Life'. The book details 21 defining matches from his career, from playing for Govan High School in 1955 to his managerial retirement. He credits his upbringing in Govan, his mother Elizabeth for confidence, and his father Alexander for drive.
After a frustrating spell at St Johnstone, he nearly moved to Canada before a flu crisis gave him his chance. Now 85, he says he is feeling good despite small injuries and is thankful to share his story.
