I am a million miles from being a Man U fan, but respect is due when it’s due and SIr Alex was a genius and a winner at times I disliked  him with a passion but all the time I couldn’t help respect that he won, that he re built his team . 

Today we learn that he is seriously ill and no doubt some will give me stick but I truly wish him well and hope his illness is overcome and he fully recovers

I couldn’t stand him when he was a manager but he really is a one off. I also send my best wishes to him.

Same for me, though don't think he will make it, I didn't think Ray would either yet didn't like to say as it was too close for some.

It's at times like this that football rivalry needs to be set aside. I hated the bloke with a vengeance when he was leading United to trophy after trophy and blaming everyone else and their brother whenever they got beat. But the bottom line is the man is a footballing legend, whatever team you support you have to take your hat off to what he achieved as a manager. Pretty much unsurpassed in the history of the beautiful game.

Get well soon Fergie you cranky old bugger, here's to a full and speedy recovery. The game still needs people like you, and your family need you as well.

Looks like surgery has gone well, hope he makes a full recovery without any issues. 

purple nosed f**ker...pull through sir...you to me represent football when it was a game for the working class of terracing, cheap entrance fee and before sky and agents got their grubby little hands on the game.
