Sellouts.
I've already watched it.. it's so good
Already seen it. Its brillaint
@@nobingreen how you already watched it
Keep interviewing this man as much as you can. You will be sad when he is gone and you didn't take the chance.
I don't wanna think when he is gone.. that is so sad.
No one does. He is my footballing father. But let's get to know him more while we can!!!!
This is build up for his movie/doc. Interviewing him isn't free. His words aren't free, that experience, expertise, tips all cost a lot. iirc his one lecture costs 100k or something.
THE GOAT MANAGER!!
After my parents, he is the most influential person in my life, as I listened to him every week for 26 years. I miss his presence in my life so much since he stepped down, its just this massive void, made worse by death of my own father. We need credible people who love him, to interview him as many times as possible in next months and years. We must extract every ounce of genius and wisdom from his remarkable life.
It’s when he keeps asking Gary “Do you remember?”, It’s like a grandad telling his grandson stories. The relationships he had with all his players was/is second to none.
Yeaah good bro
Like jaap stam?
haha fr
Yeah and Gary’s face is like the grandchild’s. He replies“Yes!” But his eyes say …”No…was I even in the squad at that time?” 😂
With all his players?! 🙄
Time doesn't exist when this man is talking. I could listen to him all day talk about the sport we all love so much.
Lamest comment of all time. "Time doesn't exist when this man talks" 🤣😪🤣🤣
Absolutely

Fergie legend
@@thomasbritton7149 or else?
I’m a Liverpool fan living in Stockport, I use to work in place in Wilmslow, I use to see many footballers and celebrities knocking about on lunch breaks etc, I never once asked for autographs, I’ve met, Andy Cole, Wayne Rooney, Nani, Raheem Sterling, too many to mention, I seen SAF come out of Waitrose meeting his wife at his car, I was instantly star struck I ran out of the the store shouted his name and ran towards him, I asked for an autograph to which he smiled and said of course he stopped what he was doing and asked me what team I follow, I told him Liverpool, he smiled and said well, someone round here has to and laughed. What he has achieved is phenomenal massive respect to him.
Brilliant Rob!
Wow
Good for u man.. that's something.
Quit lying you muppet
What an absolute story, obviously BS but a nice story.
'Working hard is a talent.' To all those people who feel they are talentless and have to work harder than others to achieve stuff, remember these words by this very wise man.
so true
old whiskey nose knows what he's talking about
"Working hard is a real talent" Words to live by

Once in my dreams I had that chance to thank him for everything, while he was parking his white Seat Ibiza on some street (obviously my mind thought he drives an Ibiza :D).

same here man. the glory day. they were amazing. what a manager
You can tell how much admiration he has for Scholes he uses him as every example of players
He loves Giggs and Ronaldo too, mentioned them a few times.
Even Keane gets a mention although they fell out
Because he did as he was told and look at how insane his execution was on his end ball.
You just know at the end of this interview, they stood up and Fergie went "Good lad Gary, well done!" and Gary's little heart swelled😄
Lol. His signature "well done" to the interviewer 😂👍

the way he's so casual about his party tricks: "it's a funny game" legend
The way Sir Alex treated the players to the cooks to the cleaners , on a level, should be used in all businesses. Respect the workforce and they’ll perform,
There's a story that the cleaning ladies at old Trafford wouldn't take their xmas gifts from somebody other than sir Alex
What really stands out to me is that he didn't want to let the fans down, he knew what it's like to be a regular hard-working man and he made sure the players understood that too.
Something the very best coaches in various sports I've come across have always said too👊🏽💯✅

I used to hate him for being so good, started watching the EPL in 1997 and I was an Arsenal fan. When you saw him chew his gum you knew a goal was coming. LEGEND! I’m glad he is healthy. This interview should have lasted at least 1 hour.
“I can’t remember a player scoring from 40 yards” Cavani literally goes and scores from 40 yards. Absolute madness!
Was literally just thinking that!🤣

It's nice as a Liverpool fan hearing him say the reasons why he has such a rivalry with us... and that it wasn't through a dislike of Liverpool, but more the respect he had for us and how he recognised that we were a force that had to be reckoned with. Respect.
He was being classy. In truth he kicked your ass Respect
@@lakhaniahmed1982 alright achmed I can see why you support united with that name ahahaha
Liverpool as a club are great, But their fans are the worst in the world. Only scousers would disagree. They’re the most arrogant stuck up fans in the world, they live in a dream world. But the team are great, shame about the fans.

Arsenal fan and I agree fergie absolute legend best manager this countries ever seen in fact football has ever seen
Literally almost made me tear up when he talked about risk and a last minute winner. Fergie knows that while football itself is beautiful and endlessly enjoyable, the fans and the roar of a stadium are what makes it magical. How grateful United fans should be that they found the greatest manager in football history.
Oh shut up he’s not the greatest, the most overrated manager there’s ever been, 2 ucl in 26 years😂😂😂

He had a brain haemorrhage like 2 years ago aswell looks brilliant
Doesn’t look like he has aged much since retiring
Ryan Mason is clear
Y r u geh?
The thing I loved about Ferguson was how much he valued the supporters and he instilled it into his players.
His words on liverpool are meant... he had no hatred towards them nothing but respect but would give his left nut to beat them... A proper living legend
Exactly ! Great teams produced great rivals both teams have to bring their A game.
theres a video on YT of him walking into anfield on his own in front of thousands of scousers either side of him. proper respect both ways. Underneath it all there's deep respect between these two institutions
yes being soft on your rival is no respect lol 🤣

@@James_36 yup definately fraud. even SAF said he was a fraud himself. oh wait.
@@James_36 not a fraud, just a different time. Pep is a legendary manager although I'd class Fergie as the goat.
Sir Alex actually apprenticed under my uncle. When my uncle passed away mere months after he got knighted, he sent a letter to my aunt offering condolences. Our family will always be appreciative that a man as busy as he was took time out to remember someone from his past .
In fairness it was his day off and he wasn't that busy.
I listened to a Podcast with Rio Ferdinand (diary of a CEO) recently and little details like this were a common thing Sir Alex did. What a guy.
@@Myviewoftheworldful Oh shut up you bellend
@@Myviewoftheworldful That was just uncalled for.
Fake
Love this man
Love your Rust videos Jordan :D
I am a Man United fan from Transylvania, from a small village. In 2012 october I had the chance to see this man in the flesh at CFR Cluj vs Man United, walking by the stands, spotting a few United shirts their in the home stand, and waving at us and smiling. That moment remains with me forever. Sir Alex, we salute you!
Noice!
What I would do to have the same experience. Awesome dude.
It's great to see Fergie speaking about football again! As a Liverpool fan, the main reason you hated him was because, secretly, you knew how brilliant and smart a manager he was. I was miserable when he was in charge of United! I am glad he is in good health now, as well as good spirits! I hope he keeps kicking on for as long as possible.
You were miserable for a long time then!
@@Al_Ellisande that was the point genuis
@@Al_Ellisande well done numpty
Grew up hating fergie and the reason was because he was successful with united. Hated neville for the same reason. One of my earliest football memories was that winning goal between a box filled with green and white shirts. These people are club legends and rightfully so. Not just club legends, these are football legends. Nothing but respect for them now, fergy especially.
The guy is absolutely fascinating. I was too consumed in my hate for him and his United team to appreciate what a genius he was. Listening to him talk about management is mesmerising
The best manager I have witnessed in my lifetime, he was a genius. "I knew, that if you beat Liverpool, you're on the right path" - as a die hard Red, that is quite humbling.

I Love listening to this Man. My Dad was from Govan, and worked in the shipyards, in the 60's, grew up at the same Town as Sir Alex But I lost him 20yrs ago now, and miss him more than ever. He never got to meet his grand daughter, and missed so much but every time i watch/Hear Sir Alex Ferguson speak, it takes me right back to being with my Father, and it feels nice, very familiar 😥
Stay strong bro rip to your dad may god bless your dad, yourself, SAF and your family
Doesn't sound like my dad but he's my dad's hero, makes me cry listening to Sir Alex
@@user-gb5yf9qb8r thank you my friend
This man won a premier league with a midfield 4 of welbeck cleverley Anderson and a 40 year old Giggs. Absolutely flies in the face of just throwing money at everything. LEGEND
I get what you mean but the welbwck and clev that played for him aren't the same as the ones who were there after he left. He could get average players to play out of their skin week in week out. That's what his real talent was.
“They can’t wait to go home and tell their wife and kids about what it was like to score in the last minute at Old Trafford” Something about this sentence brought a tear to my eye. Love to see someone talk with such affection about making the fans happy.
yeah it works cause even if you lose, the fans will respect your willingness to go out on your shield if you do come short. That's what made me gravitate more towards Utd than any other PL Team.
nowadays players can't wait to go home and make tiktok videos, even when they lost the game...
Yeah, it touched me when he said that. It shows his heart was in it for the club and the fans. He doesn’t talk as though he was just the manager. He talks as though he fathered the club.
I'm glad they picked Gary to interview Fergie, than some random journalist. You can see their mutual respect. It was like father and son having a chat in the living room.
I literally was going to comment the same. SAF made me love united. 🔴
Hated that he managed United but loved the man himself. Massive respect to him.
I think we all loved to hate him a little at United. The man was just so dominant
He learned his trade in the lower echelons of Scottish football, getting the best out of limited resources with no option to spend money on players.
@@geoffpoole483 True but it's more than that. It's natural ability to lead and influence people combined with his working class upbringing I think. He had plenty of resources at United to combine both together. Greatest manager ever and it was a pleasure to grow up watching his teams.
Boring comment. Try again but next time make it less boring. I will let you know if it’s good enough or not
@@smallarmskepa4390 haha settle down champ, who are you?
He still calls him Boss, that's so beautiful.

Not really. People call their boss at McDonald’s “boss” ... doesn’t mean they respect them.
@@smallarmskepa4390 Do you call your employer from 12 years ago "boss"? Cause Ronaldo does
@@thhhhms most people do lad. That is your relationships with said person. He was their boss and that is all. If they were to call him Alex, it would show a closer bond with more mutual respect. But no, they call him “boss” which shows they aren’t close at all.
@@smallarmskepa4390 your talking crap mate who calls anyone boss in the workplace everyone even employees to manager are on a first name basis so Gary calling fergie boss is a sign of respect
@@smallarmskepa4390 what? Are you some kind of tool? You trying to say that none of his ex players respect him cause they call him boss? He is THE boss!
As a Birmingham City fan, I have no reason to love or hate this man. Whenever I hear a podcast or watch a tv show and a player from his era talks about the “presence of Fergie” I’ve always thought that, to me, he’s always come across quite softly spoken and couldn’t understand how he had been on top for so many years. After watching this interview, i completely get it, absolutely mesmerising. What a man
KRO 👊
Not a United fan but this guy is truly legendary. He is really old but I hope he will remain sharp and healthy throughout his life.
Arsenal fan here with nothing but respect for this man, and what he achieved. A true sporting icon.

Did not expect to here Carrick on the end of his list of “talented players” up there with scholes giggs ronaldo and cantona! Just goes to show how underrated he was
As a 30 year old Liverpool fan, it was painful when this man was in charge of United. The way he kept building team after team was Incredible. He was just too damn good. The Arsenal / United rivalry was awesome.

Sir Alex used to visit the children’s hospital in Manchester. My cousin was ill with cancer , and a mad united fan. Sir Alex got him to watch a game and meet all the team etc. My cousin was so happy. He left us not long after aged 23. Thank you sir Alex , I will never forget ✨
I worked the bar at old Trafford on match days whilst at uni, and true to his word in this interview, everytime he passed through, he stopped to say hello and shake hands with everybody. Every member of bar staff, every waitress ext..

Even ronaldo till this day still calls him boss...jus shows the level of respect these guys have for SAF
The respect the men head moreover the stance of fergie, fergie always had a rule no player ever get payed more than the manager, as soon as that started happening the respect soon diminishes

I love how Sir Alex responds and looks when Gary earnestly asks why SAF kept him on for an extra season despite him thinking he wasn't good enough, and SAF just replies matter-of-factly like a father who wonders why his son doubts himself
this is why you ask all the players even Beckham after their falling out they all still call him "boss""gaffer" etc cause even when they disagreed Ferguson was always there for them every second these were his players and the amount of times he would attack the media who even dared to question what he would see every week shows that he really was a father figure.

Sir Alex laughing at the end there and saying 'It's a funny game' is everything
I almost shed a tear - Seeing Fergie smile, listening to his stories hits deep - Father Fergie
There are many managers but only 1 boss! What a legend this man is.
42 now. Was 8 when Atkinson got the boot and Alex came in. Sat at the bottom of Division 1 as it was back then. I remember being absolutely in reverence of the Ferguson from 86 to 99. The guy after the knighthood? The one who sacked Stam and Keane. And papered over the Glazers folly while playing with horses....felt he had lost some fire by then. Mistakes were made, and Cities rise was ignored in an over complacent arrogant manner. I feel the club is slowly starting to recover from the way Alex left us. For me, that legacy is also quiet a loud memory.

@@sugabender2119 He's SCOTTISH!!! I think you mean a British Manager as good as Sir. Alex...And in that respect, I'm inclined to agree, but someone might just surprise us down the line.
@@resurrectionist1 that's embarrassing, honestly thought he was English 🤣
Respect he has for us is unreal started with Kenny ,now Gerrard used to hate him now love him
As a Liverpool fan, I have the utmost respect for this man. Best manager the Premier League has ever seen, to sustain that level of dominance for so long should not be underestimated. Also hearing Gerrard speak of how Sir Alex helped him when he moved into management speaks volumes of the man. Great to see him looking well and healthy again👍
As a utd fan I also was happy he and stevie g have been in contact, rivalry aside for the love of football, btw stevie g done amazing at rangers, all the traits of a great manager
As a pg tips fan I also have the utmost respect
Best manager in the PL aaaand old first division. Fixed that for ya
Absolute legend. Love hearing him talk.
You can tell his all time favorites were Scholes, Giggs, Cantona, Ronaldo and Keano. Miss the good old days🥺
No significant mention of Beckham in this clip
Did he mention Keane?
Irwin too
Just as a football fan, there's something that just feels like has been made right when you see Sir Alex and hear him talk footy. The game misses him and it is a privilege for him to have paid us a visit in this way. Sir Alex and prem football just go together. Also can't believe I'm watching Gary interviewing Sir Alex. Crazy how time passes and so much changes.
A poor man's Sam Allardyce
@@Myviewoftheworldful keep hating 😂 because he gave your team nightmares
Sky: What an achievement SAF has had with all the trophies Keane: That’s his bloody job
Keane: absolute nonsense. He should have won more
@@peterkent1582 he secretly loves Roy!
@@damo220 Keane and fergie were two peas in a pod. I imagine Keane lost some respect for him because fergie abandoned his principles over the horse and the takeover.
😂
Man the boss still got it. Bless that man and how great that we can still listen to what he has to say.
Absolute legend. His speech makes us sit still and listen what the boss has to say
He is quite a humble man..Even with so much success he still talks about values , ethos and hard work❤️
You don't have to be a United fan to appreciate this man, absolute legend.
What a legend. Never pretending anything, just passion and connection with belief and the ability to learn. 100% unique. Much respect and love for decades of happiness Sir. 🏴
Unbelievable manager, there will never be another like him. Every single season gunning for trophies for his whole career, legend! Blackpool fan.
As a Liverpool supporter I must say this man is a living legend
GGMU
He, or anyone else, doesn't care what a Liverpool fan thinks.
@@stevenweeks9903 Didn’t know you spoke for Sir Alex and everyone else. I was just showing some respect to him so no need to get your knickers in a twist.
@@stevenweeks9903 This video (and other videos) proves he actually does. You must be pretty stupid to have not realized that yet.
@@valkir293 delusional
This is the only interview I’ve wanted to see since he retired from football. Not even a Man U fan and I still admire his management skills.
Wow what a man n what a manager . He's still as sharp as he ever was like his old self . Glad that he's back to full health . An amazing guy . Legend.
