Could It Be Coming Home?25 Sep 2024

Fergie Time | “If you let them beat you with those white suits on, don't come back.”

It’s episode two of Football’s Greatest Eras with Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes and this week they’re talking about the man who had a transformative effect on their lives - Sir Alex Ferguson. Nicky and Paul tell us what it was like to be managed, motivated, developed and - yes - rollicked by the great man. They also bring up a ton of memories such as: Which of them was once surprised to find Fergie waiting for them in the headmaster’s office when they were late for school? Who thought he was being sold after rowing with the manager after a game? Which player did Sir Alex watch constantly at a dinner before later signing him for United? They chat about what set Sir Alex apart as a manager, recall some of his most inspirational team talks, remember how shocked Cristiano Ronaldo and other foreign players were by the hairdryer, and discuss the desire to keep on winning that saw him move on club legends like David Beckham, Paul Ince, Jaap Stam and Roy Keane. 🫖 Thanks to our pals at Lancashire Tea - tea the way it should be.
