Sir Alex Ferguson describes Sir Bobby Charlton as a 'tower of strength' and reflects on their personal connection during his time as manager at Manchester United.
Sir Alex Ferguson described Sir Bobby Charlton as a "tower of strength" in a tribute to the England and Manchester United legend.
"The directors came to meet me in Glasgow and asked what my vision was for the job. I said I would take the same approach I had at Aberdeen, by looking to build up the whole club, not just the team, and that I would do that by developing young players," Ferguson wrote. "People loved him because of all those thunderbolt goals, but it was more than that," Ferguson added."He never used to boast about his own achievements - it was always about the team and the club."
A tribute was laid in the centre circle on the pitch at Old Trafford before kick-off on Sunday, reading 'Sir Bobby Charlton - forever loved'.
