00:00What do you remember about Saturday, 5th of May, 2018?
00:05Ambulance Service.
00:06My dad, he's a clown.
00:08The greatest British manager ever!
00:11What's his name, please?
00:13Alexander Ferguson.
00:15I was crying, you know, because I don't remember a thing.
00:18He just put his head in his hands and went,
00:20I hope there's nothing on my memory.
00:22The champions of England.
00:25There'd better be nothing on my memory.
00:28And then he'd just start telling me these stories.
00:31It's a fact of life that where we come from is important.
00:35I come from gumming. I'm a gumming boy.
00:37My apprenticeship as a toolmaker helped me, I think, in understanding people.
00:42In Glasgow, the trains in Celtic, people had the knife in Alec for obvious reasons.
00:48Cathy was Catholic.
00:49I went off the rails a bit.
00:51My dad, that's when we fell out.
00:53I've always regretted that.
00:54But the football was the saviour.
00:57He was determined that he would go on and prove himself.
01:00I had my own philosophy about management.
01:02And the team have won!
01:04A player can't do it himself.
01:05Player's the only part of a team.
01:08The manager's in control of that.
01:10The camera shutters strange at the first appearance of the new boss.
01:13Manchester United have won nothing since 85.
01:15I just said, Dad, I don't think you're going to be successful.
01:17Adversity, when it happened, Cathy, she sacrificed to support me 100%.
01:23I've got a patience, 53 years married to me.
01:26You've got this reputation as this fearsome character.
01:29Absolutely.
01:30He would be right in your face, screaming at you.
01:32But it was definitely that father-son relationship.
01:36He knew exactly what I needed.
01:38It's why I walk so hard.
01:41I feel like you're a proper manager.
01:43You have to know them all, all these different stories.
01:46This is the place where they've created gods.
01:58Psychology is someone else's work.
02:03I call it management.
02:06The impossible dream made possible.
02:09You worry, you'll lose all this history, all these memories.
02:16But they live on.
