thank you for posting this video :)

"Be patient, the last 15 minutes throw the kitchen sink" what a manager!

What a legend! The one and only Mr. Sir Alex Ferguson Thanks for the memories...

Sir Alex is not only the greatest manager in football history, but also sporting history. He's won 38 trophies at man utd and 49 trophies in all (a record by miles), built and rebuilt teams multiple times, re-established United at the top of football after 20 years in the doldrums, he's unearthed great players (Ronaldo, Beckham, Giggs, Scholes, etc.) and had an aura about him nobody else does. Critics love to point out his "only" two European cups but conveniently leave out his other 47 trophies! Will never be anyone like him!

Just listening to him makes you want to perform well... at whatever you do.

Well done, Sir Alex, Well done!

the drive behind sir alex is truly phenomenal the man survived on 5 hours sleep a night and continued until he was 71 years of age despite all he achieved he wanted to win more and more when the vast majority of people his age retire and put their feet up he was a one off and can never be replicated

Does anyone else find Charlie Rose to be at times unnerved by talking to Alex Ferguson in this interview? Occasionally doesn't let the man speak; even interrupts his flow. Approx min. 34 is unbelievable, he's rude to him. I feel like there's some ego trying to be proved here and it's just not appropriate.

The loyalty that Sir Alex shows towards Manchester United is just unbelievable!

Ferguson's success is what we judged Van gaal, moyes and Mourinho by. Ferguson won the title and played teams off the park with decent players like Smalling, Jones,Evans,Rafael, Gibson etc The moment he left, it all fell apart and these players were nowhere to be seen in terms of their performances. Ferguson was a legend, how he managed to win with the players he had in the later part of his career. Mourinho couldn't. He called it one of his greatest achievements to have finished second.

This guy is the Yoda of football. He was operating on a higher mental level than everyone else.

This gave me such a good insight into fergie, really never have been a fan of his but since his retirement I now appreciate what he did for english football.

Class all over!

Greatest Manager to ever grace the game. Another amazing Scot. Never taking shit and letting people know how it is. Legend.

a legend in football without any doubt :)

Why would they get someone who knows nothing about football to talk for an hour with the greatest manager of all time? He doesn't have a clue. He's just reading questions off of some paper. Also it's really annoying when he just interrupts SAF and goes off on a tangent asking him about something different entirely.

He isn't the greatest manager of all time. He's not even the greatest manager in Britain. Bob Paisley won more trophies in a shorter period of time at Liverpool than Alex Ferguson won in a longer period of time at Manchester United. Not only did he win a record number of English league titles but Paisley is the only manager in history to win 3 European Cups with the same club.

IIXRATEDIIHiTMAN How do you put SAF above Paisley? That's nuts. Paisley won much more in a shorter period of time. His Liverpool teams were the most successful in English football history and even today his trophy haul means despite the tide of success flowing towards Manchester since the early 90's, Liverpool have still recorded the most trophies in English history (41) compared to Manchester United's 39.

Olisa Maduegbuna Paisely had an amazing 8 or 9 years, winning 3 european cups which is unprecedented but he ultimately inherited an extremely strong side from Bill Shankly who was the one who brought liverpool up from second division obscurity to a top team but Bob got all the eventual glory. Paiselys relatively short-term success is unmatched though. SAF on the other side inherited the worst united side since the Munich air disaster and went on to win the league 13 times, created a youth philosophy which nurtured the most successful english talent of this generation without any doubt and he held that position for 26 years which I doubt will be emulated in our life times. For that reason alone he's above Paisley. Imagine the same manager dominating at Madrid or Bayern or United or Liverpool or any top club for 26 years... Its unthinkable! The only reason Clough is ahead was his genius off the field, he was just as special an individual away from football which Ferguson never seemed.

IIXRATEDIIHiTMAN Paisley only retired after just 9 years due to health reasons. But how long a manager stays is irrelevant. What is important is how much they win in their period in time at the helm. Wenger has been and I'm sure will continue to be at Arsenal for so long yet I doubt when the History books are written that Wenger will win more with Arsenal than Mourinho will do with Chelsea. Will people then say oh Wenger led for so long so should be seen as a greater manager? Length of tenure is irrelevant. Mourinho's greater success albeit in a shorter period of time at Chelsea will stand him in greater stead in the history books. And you ignore the fact that Paisley had been Shankly's right hand man throughout Shankly's era of laying the foundations. Paisley was responsible for player recruitment. He presided over both during his time as assistant and head manager, over some of the best transfers in English football. The real success came when Paisley turned 'Shankly's foundations' into real accomplishments. Yes Fergie took over a less successful United side but it wasn't like Fergie didn't have great predecessors before him - Mat Busby was the one who picked up the pieces from the Munich disaster and his youth policy (the Busby Babes) started success at Man United (winning a European cup) before SAF came. Yes SAF achieved a lot and was able to continue working for so long due to the wonders of modern medicine but SAF didn't build something from nothing either. United had recovered from the Munich disaster much much earlier before SAF came. Trophies are the bread and butter of a club's legacy and history. Paisley won much more in various competitions in a much shorter period of time than SAF could have dreamed of achieving at Man United. SAF stayed for so long yet won much less in comparison. Paisely's Liverpool was one of the most successful in club football history not to talk of just English history. Only teams which can be compared are the Barca side of the late 2000's under Guardiola and the late 90's AC Milan team. Growing old on the job doesn't mean a thing. Winning trophies is what counts.

Legend!

i could listen to the great man all day #unitedforlife

nothing but respect for SIR ALEX.

Like him or hate Sir Alex, you can't deny the fact that he took United from not winning the league in 26 years to being the best team in the Premier League in the past 20 years.

If he tried in american football then he'll surely win 13 Super Bowl or more.

@Thomas Dauphan the difference between United under Ferguson and the other teams you mentioned is that United hadn't won the league for 20 years and he built them up to win the league and made them that dominant. They used youth players and only brought players because United earnt their own money from sustained success. Where as the other teams were brought buy billionaires and had all the money to just buy whoever they want to get their league titles. It was the only way teams could compete with Ferguson's united. That's how great Ferguson was at management. He built a monster team that would have had at least 17 titles in 21 years if not for the billionaires coming in to make average to poor teams able to be filled with world class players to compete and win some battles, but even then Ferguson's united still won the wars. Every time. Look what's happened to United since he left. Haven't come close. Such is the greatness of the man and his management.

I am not a big Man U fan but you have to admire Ferguson and what he has done .

Think sir alex is a fantastic manager and fantastic man.from a liverpool fan

what a great man

The most "American" interview ever... It's like the interviewer hardly knows who he's interviewing but has been on Sir Alex' wiki-page after some trivia ...

This interview can be summed up in just one line sir said ..."manchester united is my team,my club " ! Respect !

I still liked the interview, to be honest. Yes, I agree that Charlie wasn't really expanding on what Sir Alex had to say but, in doing so, we got to learn other (and more) things about him. It was a unique interview in that way.

I like that the interview was conducted by someone that probably doesn't know SAF as we do, it adds a very different dynamic to him. I would love to see him do an interview on a purely football basis as well.

Im a BIG Liverpool fan, but i gotta say this. The year Ferguson made the choice of selling Ronaldo and THEN went on with (on paper) a very avarage team (not replacing him) and STILL win the hardest League in the world to win , THAT told me that THIS guy can motivate ANYONE to do their best and beyond. So hata of to MAYBE the best manager true all times .......... IF tou dont count Shankly and Paisley ofcourse ;P

He is truly the greatest manager of my lifetime.

Thats what he is all about "Manchester United is my team"... thanks a lot for everything especially for all the adrenaline rush on late wins.

Love the man

sir alex turned him in the end...he finally called it football..!! Power of the great man..!!

Yes, we did. And it's showing.

I though it was an excellently conducted interview, Michael - Manchester United fan

There is one thing for sure sir Alex knows what he is at smart man get the mother don’t mind the father he would teach you a lot if his own mother and father could see him now they be very proud especially his da .he pulled his plan off perfectly good job sir Alex 👍

Charlie Rose is a very smart man and Alex Ferguson is a greater football/soccer manager! Good entreview.

Definitely some truth in that

true legend no matter what anyone says.
