Think you know Sir Alex Ferguson? You may well find yourself thinking again by the end of this ultimate 25-question quiz on the legendary manager!
Fergie started out as a moderately successful footballer bouncing around the various professional divisions in Scotland during a 16-year career and earning international recognition, somewhat, with the Scottish national team.
As he dove straight into management after the end of his playing days, nothing overly spectacular was expected from the 32-year-old Glaswegian.
What would follow was perhaps the greatest football management career of all time.
The maverick was quickly able to work his way to the top of Scottish football in charge of Aberdeen, with whom he was able to complete the spectacular achievement of European success.
And even when a stint in charge of his national team didn’t work out off the back of his Pittodrie exploits, bigger fish would be waiting to be fried at Manchester United.
Taking over from Ron Atkinson in 1986, Ferguson embarked on an incredible 26-year spell at Old Trafford, picking up a mind-boggling 38 trophies.
Premier Leagues, UEFA Champions Leagues, FA Cups, FIFA Club World Cups, you name it, he won it with the Red Devils, even signing off with an English top-flight title a few weeks before his retirement at the end of the 2012/2013 season.
If it was ever in doubt, a damning piece of evidence that displays just how important this pioneer was to the success of arguably the world’s biggest football club is how they’ve fared since he hung his suit up for good!
It’s all included in our quiz, from those early days in Scotland to his 1,500th and final match at the helm of United, a felicitous 5-5 draw with West Bromwich Albion.
Whether you’re a die-hard Red Devil or just a general Fergie or football fan, find out how knowledgable you are on one of the game’s most iconic figures!
