sir alex ferguson is revered at manchester united. leading the clu b to at manchester united. leading the club to an astonishing that a trophy in 26 years, an all—time great at home and abroad, renowned for his tenacity and fighting spirit. but now he faces a very different kind of test. it's impossible to overstate his standing in the game. he is something of a football institution in his own right and it is notable from those messages of support that they do not just is notable from those messages of support that they do notjust come from people of a manchester united persuasion, but also those of rival clu bs, persuasion, but also those of rival clubs, from the right —— wider sporting world and from society as a whole, this is a man who transcend so whole, this is a man who transcend so many spheres of life. there is a stand here named after him and a statue in his honour, that is an indicator of how much he means. his legacy and impact are not in doubt but that hope is that there is still more to come, that we have not seen the last of sir alex ferguson. he remains i
