People always say that when they meet someone famous for being a cunt
"Oh I met Alex Ferguson, he had a very dry sense of humour" makes no fucking difference, they are still a cunt.

There's no excuse for defending Alex Ferguson as a person
He's a breathtaking hypocrite and an utter bellend.

Good manager though.

A little mild racism never hurt anyone
Lets be honest most people I know of his generation have fairly backward views of people of ethic origin, it's just the world that they grew up in.

Most people of his generation haven't travelled outside their own village.
Doesn't really apply to him though.

Your set must be very middle class. My old lady didn't go abroad till she retired. Of my grand parents, only one ever went abroad.

I got "Duke of Hazard: The Wit and Wisdom of Prince Philip" for Christmas a while back.

I read a piece about him on his 90th the other day
Apparently in 60 years of making 300 appearances a year he has only cried off 5 times due to illness. Impressive. Or bullshit.
