Sir Alex Ferguson's wife Cathy has died 57 years after marrying the former Manchester United manager. Ferguson retired from football in 2013 to spend more time by her side
Sir Alex Ferguson's wife Cathy has passed away aged 84 leaving behind the former Manchester United manager and their three sons.
In fact, were it not for Cathy's intervention, Ferguson might well have ended up at one of United's rivals in north London when he was approached by Tottenham. "The directors, to a man, were enthusiastic endorsers of the choice . All aspects of the contract agreed," a book about Spurs, titled Still Dreaming, previously claimed.Ferguson, 81, has not been present at the last of United's home matches.
But officially retiring in 2013 after 27 years as United's manager, he recalled: "When I told her this time I was going to retire she had no objection whatsoever. I knew she wanted me to do it."
