The godfather of football.... his achievements at Aberdeen always gets overlooked, the last time Celtic and Rangers didnt win the league was when he was at Aberdeen.... the last time Real Madrid lost a euopean final, he was at Aberdeen.... and of course his dominance with Man Utd speaks for itself. Legendary manager
What an absolute legend Sir Alex is. All of us football fans, no matter who we support, should appreciate him while he is still with us. People like him are very rare, especially in this day and age!
I fell in love with Aberdeen as a 5 year old when we won our first Premier league title, Willie Miller was my favourite player ...still is. They were fantastic days, still think sir alex achievements at Aberdeen were unmatched by anyone...even better than what he did with utd.., a provisional club, winning two European trophies, who had no training ground, trained on the beach and local parks played like men possesed , smashing the old firm, bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Incredible! ❤
I’m a United fan but have a huge soft spot for Aberdeen always have done always checking how they’re doing because of sir Alex. Never to be match achievement what he did at Aberdeen
It really is always nice hearing Fergie, this is coming from a Liverpool fan. Good memories regardless of the glory united had, miss having these type of managers, real men
@@barugambireismailismail1688 Sir Alex dominated for 26 years, Howard Webb only refereed in the Prem for 9 seasons, just one reason why your comment is bullshit
This made me happy to see. Even though I suffered as an LFC fan from Sir Alex, he is a big reason why the premier league is where it is today. Management and entertainment.
He is indeed. Plus he did it over 4 decades, beat Celtic and Rangers domination of Scotland, beat Real Madrid with that same Aberdeen team then developed 3 or 4 new man utd squads to win titles
@@Norman-j7min Scotland Celtic and Rangers are in one league and the league below fight to come 3rd. Fergie broke their dominance and it hasn’t been done since.
One of Ferguson,s main attributes was his memory. He remembered eveyone's name. From the tea lady to the youth deveopment players. A great asset to have 📷
That was Englishman Bob Paisley. He won 6 Leagues, 1 FA cup, 3 League Cups, 3 European Cups & UEFA Super Cup. He did it all in just 9 seasons from 1974 to 83 and then quit! It's probably a world record.
@@paulmichael9413 Bob was standing on the shoulders of a football giant we will never know if he could do what Fergie or Clough did and build a club and team
I met Sir Alex 4 times during his tenure, that he was was from the same side of Glasgow as my father allowed me to understand my dad far more than I had ever done as a young man. The working class ethics and not suffering fools gladly are etched in my DNA. The greatest manager ever
Even as a staunch Liverpool supporter of nearly 50 years, I have to tip my hat to this man. It's easier to say that now of course, since he's not making my life a misery anymore. But he's right up there with Shankly with how he transformed a club's fortunes and turned them into serial winners. Respect.
@@DerThinker haha stop lying even at the time Sir Matt Busby was regarded as a better manager than Shankly. Sir Alex is above both and is seen by all neutrals as the greatest of all time.
He is football, to me and to millions of people. Thank goodness he's in good health and I personally breath a sigh of relief every time I see him back at Ibrox, watching his club.
So true his club was r,f,c the top he wore as a youngster ,shocking he never got to manage them , what he done at Aberdeen will never be beaten the greatest Scottish achievement of any Scottish team , what a team Aberdeen were , sheep shagers
@@jconnon I. think every Rangers fan thought that for years. But it's not true. He's at Ibrox alongside his great friend John Greig whenever he can be. If he hated Rangers he wouldn't be as close to Greig as he is. SAF even alludes to MU not being the biggest of clubs when he arrived, which they weren't. LFC are the most successful UK side now. But prior to the shift in TV money, Rangers and Celtic were the equal of any British club. On any metric. Rangers had been in 3 Euro finals to MU's one before Fergie changed things.
Rangers man here. What Fergie did will never be replicated. Will never be replaced at United either. A genuine colossus of not just British but WORLD football. 🏴
@@indigo8021 Thats the least an average player should achieve whilst at the time playing for the best team in scotland against utter garbage week in week out. Would he score as many south of the boarder ?? Nope
Celtic fan and that was amazing to watch two legends of the game talk shop . Listening to Fergie tell of his pre game tactical switch working in Barcelona was superb. Absolute peak YT footy content 👏👏👏
What Fergie achieved at Aberdeen, was nothing short of miraculous. No non Old Firm team has ever got close to that level of success, or ever will. Winning 3 league titles( i'm sure only us, and Hibs have won back to back titles), the only club outwith the Old Firm to win 3 Scottish Cups in a row, defeating the greatest name in German football, and then the greatest name in club football, to win the ECWC, then to defeat the European Cup holders in the Super Cup, is a remarkable record.
It’s an achievement that is often overlooked. Because it happened in Scotland. Folk don’t realise what an achievement it was outside of Scotland, and it is a sin. Pep is great, sure, but he could never do what Fergie did at Aberdeen - that, that is what separates the two.
Absolutely great chat between two absolute Scottish football icons. Love the chemistry and connection between Sir Alex and Super Ally. I had no idea about Alex Ferguson nearly emigrating to Canada before his football career got up and running. Great stuff 🙏❤️
@@user-eu6wp6ws7c Not on the scale of Guardiola, big transfer fees in his first 8 years at Utd would be Hughes (bought back from Barca at a profit), Pallister and Keane.
When this great man leaves our lives the world will be loosing one of the greatest managers who’s ever lived , I could listen to him all day , such an amazing speaker ..!
I love this man. There’s not one person outside of my own family and circle of friends that has been responsible for giving me so much joy and happiness.
I'm not a United fan, but I'll never forget United's performances in the Champions League against Madrid in 2013. Madrid had a much better team individually but Ferguson just made United such a unit and they were so good and effective in both those legs and were the better team, especially in the second game. Even Mourinho admitted after the game United desrved to go through, and they absolutely would if it weren't for that unlucky and undeserved imo Nani red card. One of the best Ferguson's performances ever imo. I was so gutted United didn't go through that night.
SAF let the referee know his disgust at that wet fart Madrid favouritism referees decision at the end of the match because SAF knew that was his last stab at another champions league.
and Sir Alex didn't come out to the post match press conference. We didn't know it at the time but wondered how much that loss hurt him. And only he knew why at the time. Only a few months later did we all find out at the end of the season 😢
A great interview & it's so rare Sir Alex does them. Sky Sports should reach out to get him in for some games, especially as he's now looking at the game tactically again. What he did at Man Utd was great, but his work at Aberdeen was amazing. He built a team & mentality, that meant Aberdeen didn't just stop at one title & once he got the right team at Man Utd he kept up the same momentum.
I am a United fan. And I would say what he did with Aberdeen is more impressive than winning the treble with United. And that is extremely impressive itself in winning the treble! Especially with teams back then.
Same. 84yrs old now, near fatal brain haemorrhage and still sharp as a tack. He’s been deservedly enjoying his retirement but I selfishly wish he would do more long form interviews or podcasts. I could listen to the great man talk about literally anything. Helps he’s a fellow Scotsman 🏴
I'm taken aback sometimes by how emotional I get listening to Sir Alex speak. With 27 years of emotional rollercoaster alongside him, he's locked up in so many people's most stirring memories. Though we'd heard a lot of this before, I still enjoyed it - particularly the bit about St Mirren, which was a bit of fresh insight. Cheers Ally!
@@TurkoFrmDa5th Nah. There were others before him. Shankly, who built Liverpool; Busby, who built Man U; Stein, who won the first European cup by a team from the UK… He was influenced by all of these men.
As a Manchester United fan it’s great to see so many comments from non United supporters- he was a great manager-and his United teams always entertained- great memories ❤
No matter how many trophies pep continues to win he (and nobody else) can be in the same conversation as this man. His development and getting the best of his players is unmatched just look at that 2013 team, players beyond their best years (Rio, Vidic, Giggs, Scholes etc) and youth players nowhere near as good as the class of 92 (Cleverly, Welbeck etc) and yet we comfortably won the league. Not to mention what he achieved at Aberdeen no manager except him could ever do
Absolute legend. As a United fan, from about ‘76/77, I remember how bad we were and how dominant Liverpool were. But this man turned United around through determination and hard work. Making success seem the norm. How I wish we could turn that clock back now. The downfall is saddening. I don’t think we’ll see a manager as good as Sir Alex at United ever again. A genius and an amazing man. ❤
Sir Alex gets so much credit and deservedly so. He’s left an outstanding legacy. But I think ally Mcoist is a fantastic addition to any football set up. The guy has unlimited passion and enthusiasm for the game and always seems to find a way to have a laugh.
Absolutely superb interview. Huge fan of both as a fellow Scotsman and someone from Falkirk who Sir Alex played for and who lived near East Stirlingshire FC's stadium what Sir Alex achieved in his managerial career was unbelievable at both Aberdeen and Man Utd. Born winner and got to know players and staff on a level that showed his man management skills were one of his greatest assets.
I'm a Man United fan, didn't follow football outside Scotland really until Sir Alex went to Man United and I was a fan of Sir Alex and his Aberdeen squad that he took to whole new level. Then he took Man United to a whole new level - and in doing so he helped build the EPL as well - I don't think we'll ever see another manager in the game as good as he was. He's also responsible for, imho, the best quote ever about the game after the UCL win in '99 - "Football! Bloody hell!"
Anyone who knows anything about football knows that Aberdeen were one of the best run most proactive footballs clubs in the U.K. when Fergie joined. A city which mirrored Fergusons grit and work ethic with a big support it was a marriage made in heaven for both parties. Aberdeen were already challenging the status quo but Fergie smashed it to bits. During the early to mid 80’s Aberdeen were the best club side in Europe but there was only one club who could lure the great man and Manchester Utd and Aberdeen will forever be linked by shear greatness. Sir Alexander Ferguson
Good stuff. Well said. Aberdeen FC were indeed a very proactive and innovative club. Pittodrie was the first all-seated stadium in Britain by 1978. More than a decade before The Taylor Report. It was also the first 'stadium' in world football to have a dugout. 'Invented' by the coach/manager at the time, Donald Coleman, in the 1920's. Quite remarkable really. Have a good one bud.
What a classy man Sir Alex Ferguson is. Always suited and booted no matter his age or health. And super Ally too, still calling him gaffer to this day is lovely 👏
I'm a Liverpool supporter and there's no denying that the guy a was an absolutely fantastic manager.The thing that got me about Alex Ferguson was he didn't care what anyone thought about him,absolutely no one.
Could listen to Sir Alex all day. A United fan for over 40 years, unbelievable memories were down to him. Also a big fan of Ally's work, well done guys 👏🏻
I went to his first game for United at Oxford away. We were awful and lost 2-0. I never had a clue on the journey he would take united and me on following United all over Europe. I thank him so much. What i love most tho about listening to this man now even at his age, is that his memory is fantastic
I would like to personally thank Sir Alex for the entertainment he provided to me as Manchester United fan when he was manager. The success of United and the enjoyment I got from it was all part of my youth, and made it better. Cheers Sir Alex.
Thanks Ally.Great to reflect on Sir Alex time in football and hear Duncan Edwards mentioned .Brought back a memory for me as a boy on the terraces with my grandfather watching him play against Bournemouth in the FA Cup.

F A N T A S T I C makes me proud to be a Scot, two legends of the game here. From a Celtic fan. : ) x ❤🔥
I might be biased ive loved Utd since i was 7 & im 49 now.
If we never won anything again i couldn't complain.
None of it possible without Fergie...
Fantastic interview Ally had the pleasure of watching Sir Alex playing for Ranges he's undoubtedly Britain's greatest manager 👏👏👏
The Scot who built the English Prem
He didn't build anything and it was Englishman Mark Robins who saved his career with that goal in the FA cup!
@@paulmichael9413”he didn’t build anything”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm a Liverpool supporter and there's no denying that the guy a was an absolutely fantastic manager.The thing that got me about Alex Ferguson was he didn't care what anyone thought about him,absolutely no one.
This might be the best series TNT has ever done. Ally is the most likeable man in footbaĺl by a long mile..
Nope
Great video.pity it wasn't longer
Brilliant interview. Thanks for this.
What a man football royalty at its finest ,as a fellow Scotsman sir Alex broke the old firm stranglehold that will never be done again …🏴
Warms me up watching anything this man does the boss 🏴❤
Was Sir Alex in good form Ally?
aye think he was in good form, cant remember. Will ask again
😅
He is an old man,,a life long mentor,,lost his wife,,,was very ill,,,its called respect,,,,learn some. Fud.
He looks good for his age
@@joshuakithyoma9575 so does your mum
I love the story of how Jock Stein helped Aberdeen win against Madrid as told by Sir Alex himself
brilliant !
Sir Alex the boy fae Govan done good.
He's still got that glint in his eyes, I'm so thankful we had him as our manager for such a long time. Truly a Knight of the game.
Two of my favourite people, nice touch.
Could listen to Sir Alex all day. A United fan for over 40 years, unbelievable memories were down to him. Also a big fan of Ally's work, well done guys 👏🏻
Brilliant! From a Celtic man 🍀
Oh look at me, I’m a Celtic fan and have to get attention for not being bigoted
Could listen to Sir Alex forever. 26mins whizzed by. Lovely conversation
Ruined my 20s as a Liverpool fan but what a manager
I went to his first game for United at Oxford away. We were awful and lost 2-0.
I never had a clue on the journey he would take united and me on following United all over Europe. I thank him so much.
What i love most tho about listening to this man now even at his age, is that his memory is fantastic
"There's only one, there will never be another. History maker". Peter Drury!
Man what a legend! :') and what a duo this should have been atleast 2 hr interview
Everything he does, he does with excellence.
I could sit and listen to Sir Alex's stories all day he's a legend
He is definitely looking his age, and showing it too, but enough about Coisty!!, great interview, well done...
I would like to personally thank Sir Alex for the entertainment he provided to me as Manchester United fan when he was manager. The success of United and the enjoyment I got from it was all part of my youth, and made it better. Cheers Sir Alex.
Probably the greatest of all time
Definitely*
@@shahzadirani Maybe
Ancelotti or Ferguson for me. Carlo maybe just nicks it but I’d give no argument about f someone picked Ferguson.
Thanks Ally.Great to reflect on Sir Alex time in football and hear Duncan Edwards mentioned .Brought back a memory for me as a boy on the terraces with my grandfather watching him play against Bournemouth in the FA Cup.
Took time to write me down a nice message in the biography and spoke to my wife on the phone. Who my wife called some old Scottish guy. What a man
Sir alex is the 🐐
Thank god for subtitles.
Two great men
