December 31st.,1941: Alexander Chapman Ferguson was born in Shieldhall Road,Govan,Glasgow.

After a solid playing career,he would go on to become the most successful manager in English Football history,with Manchester United. The only manager to win the "Impossible Treble" (Premier League,F.A.Cup and European Champions League)in the same season,he was Knighted in 1999, in 'recognition of his services to the game'. His other achievements are too numerous to mention, but he continues to manage United - today being his 1,421st. game in charge.

Like him or not,he is the BEST.
