Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In | Official Trailer | Manchester United

What do you remember about Saturday, 5th of May 2018? Ambulance service. My dad, he's very clever. What's his name please? Alexander Ferguson. I was crying, you know, because I don't remember a thing. He just put his head in his hands and went, I hope there's nothing on my memory. There better be nothing on my memory. And then he just started telling me these stories. It's a fact of life that where we come from is important. I come from Govan. I'm a Govan boy. My apprenticeship as a toolmaker helped me, I think, in understanding people. In Glasgow, the trains in Celtic. People had the knife in Alec for obvious reasons. Kathy was Catholic. I went off the rails a bit. My dad, that's when we fell out. I've always regretted that. But the football was the saviour. He was determined that he would go on and prove himself. I had my own philosophy about management. A player can't do it himself. Players are only part of the team. The manager's in control of that. The camera shutters strained at the first appearance of the new boss. Manchester United have won nothing since 85. I just said, Dad, I don't think you're going to be successful. Adversity, when it happened. Kathy, she sacrificed to support me 100%. I've got her patience. 53 years married to me. You've got this reputation as this fearsome character. Absolutely. He would be right in your face, screaming at you. But there was definitely that father-son relationship. He knew exactly what I needed. It's why I work so hard. If you want to be a proper manager, you have to know them all. All these different stories. This is the place where they've created gods. Psychology. Someone else's work. I call it management. You worry you'll lose all this history. All these memories. But they live on.
