Ferguson on being 'terrified' by brain haemorrhage and 'fantastic' return to Man Utd
Ferguson says he lost his voice after surgery and was unsure how supporters would react when he returned to watch United play Wolves.
- Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, 84, reflected on his 2018 brain haemorrhage in a BBC Breakfast interview promoting his new book, 'Games of My Life', which details 21 defining matches from his playing and managerial career.
- Following emergency surgery for a brain haemorrhage in May 2018, Ferguson endured a "frightening moment" when he temporarily lost his speech, relying on therapy exercises like naming rivers and animals to regain his voice.
- Four months after his operation, Ferguson returned to Old Trafford with his wife Cathy to watch Manchester United play Wolves, receiving a standing ovation he admitted left him feeling "terrified" yet deeply moved.
- His book revisits pivotal managerial decisions, including the 1995 sale of Paul Ince to Inter Milan for £7.5m, with Ferguson maintaining that managers must make "hard decisions" to ensure long-term club success.
- Now three months short of 85, Ferguson reports feeling "quite good despite small injuries" and remains a regular supporter of the club he led to 13 Premier League titles between 1986 and 2013.
