Sir Alex Ferguson had a quite extraordinary career in football.

The Scotsman enjoyed a successful career as a player, playing for the likes of St Johnstone, Rangers and Falkirk.

Ferguson's career as a player came to an end in 1974 and he swiftly turned to management.

Ferguson would go on to establish himself as arguably the greatest manager of all-time. 

He excelled at Aberdeen and would later shatter record after record during a trophy-laden 27 year stay at Manchester United.
