Sir Alex Ferguson has been busy writing another book with more saucy bits about the players he managed.
Titled “Leading” one of the statements to be gleaned from it’s pages was that Fergie claimed to have managed just four world class players during his reign as Manchester United manager: Eric Cantona, Paul Scholes, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs.
During an interview with the BBC, Beckham was confronted with the snub but let it humbly wash over him. “I played for the greatest manager of all time” shrugged Beckham, adding “I was lucky to have played with the players that I did and be successful with the club I love and still love.”
And, as if his self deprecation wasn’t endearing enough, he made the statement to the BBC in New York where he was giving a speech to the UN alongside Ban Ki-moon, the Secretary General, calling for more to be done to protect vulnerable children.
