Sir Alex

the long version

"When Alex Ferguson took over at Manchester United in November 1986, the club had been underachieving for years, despite occasional cup successes. As Aberdeen manager, he had broken the Glasgow duopoly and seemed to be the man who could finally transform the Reds' fortunes. Yet, despite the huge resources at his disposal, it took time before his work began to have a visible effect." "David Meek and Tom Tyrrell, who have both worked with Sir Alex since the very start of is reign at Old Trafford, have interviewed a wide range of players and managers, as well as his colleagues, to build up a portrait of the man as seen by those who know him best. This book is a glowing tribute to his 20 years in charge of United."--BOOK JACKET.
