Selfy with Sir Alex Ferguson

I was coming into T5 transfers off my flight from LA and saw Sir Alex there with his wife and, I think, his or her dad. I apologised for interrupting them, asked for a photo, since it would make someone close to me happy.

 

That someone is my cousin Douglas, who found out that his Grandfather was in fact Sir Alex's science teacher back in school, and also his football coach. Sir Alex had written a letter back to Douglas when he found out, saying how much passion this relative had imparted in science, and how he had also taught him a "little something or two about football".

 

When I mentioned the letter to Sir Alex, he remembered straightaway and was only too happy to have a photo, and to continue the reminiscing in the elevator up to departures.

 

A lovely chap
