@Guy Brasfort it’s because people look down at working class Scottish accents. Everyone here puts on a voice when speaking in a professional setting or to people out with the city/country
@Guy Brasfort yes throughout my life in school or wherever it was they corrected any ‘slang’ words which were simply just Scots words. Also hearing my parents suddenly changing the way they speak when talking to others just reinforced this.
I was married to a California woman and we lived in San Francisco and we went to Glasgow, where I was born to visit family, that I hadnt seen in decades, my wife could not understand a soul, I was the translator, she went back to California and I stayed behind for another two weeks, she picks me up at San Francisco Airport and as we are driving up the Freeway on the way back home, she turns to me and asked what did I do with her husband because he sounds totally unlike the guy she has been married too for years. I had not noticed that my thick Glasgow accent returned as I spent time with family where I grew up, in the slums of Glasgow. You take the boy out of Glasgow, but, ye canny take the Glesga oot a ra boy.
I've no idea why this was recommended to me as a Leeds fan for over 40 years, but I watched regardless, what a manager and man old whiskey nose was and is. Respect.
Got this on Video somewhere, was released in 1995, looking back on Alex Ferguson life in football as a player and manager to that point. It is amazing to think after this he still has 18 years of his career left and goes onto win another 11 Premier League titles, 3 FA Cups, 3 League Cups, 2 Champions Leagues from 4 Finals, 1 International Cup, 1 World Club Cup and 7 Community Shields as well as been awarded a knighthood, more than most will ever achieve in their careers, the Greatest of all time, Legend.
I think you need to look at the upbringing of a lot African and South America players and you will really understand what humble beginnings are my friend
I really miss SAF ...his weekly Pre Match and Post match interview ...his sense of humor his charisma .... Thank you For what you have bought to Manutd.
I got sent up to ask him for his autograph twice by friends who were too scared, he said to me "what do you say" the second time as I did not say please... that was 1966 dennistoun Waverley football ground in the East end of glasgow, I was 11.
Respect to sir Alex even though he made my young days as a bear hell along with Jim McLean rip. Fergie the greatest manager in my lifetime no doubt about it
Lifelong Leeds fan but fergie was a master at mind games and a beast for winning sir Alex I wish I could say its been a pleasure but it never was seen u win everything for 20 long years well deserved
Sir Alex has always been a peoples man. Through his hard days in Govern . He is not only a great manager and man motivator, But the best in achievement
The way British football players and managers should be, should always remember where they came from and be proud of being working class. Sir Alex is just acting as if he still lives there, he is a popular figure and still acts like a normal person from that area. Gentleman
"For some reason I got voted as the shop steward." For some reason - LOL - who shall we send the quiet one or the loud, opinionated, fearless mad bastard. uummmm - I wonder...........
People who are terrified of dying are afraid of the unknown, their innermost tell them that there’s more to life than everything they acquired here on earth. You can feel their emptiness when you talk to such people later in their lives
JANUARY 2021 of all Sir Alex Ferguson a Son of Scotland, and a manager who via his players made Manchester United the Club it became during his time in charge, I'm happy to say the Gaffer in his honour. Scotland lost was OLD TRAFFORD gain in my eyes. Thanks Sir Alex and to all those players thanks for playing your part too.
@Hill16Dub he was interested but it came down to the personnel Rangers had at the time, nothing else. I know he’s a Man U legend but I wouldn’t underestimate his love for Rangers.
@@ID-pw8zb His boyhood 'love' for Rangers was, shall we say, somewhat soured by the treatment he received for dating a Catholic whom he eventually ended up marrying (Cathy). He regarded the bigotry directed at him as " poisonous hostility". Fergie prior to joining Utd had done all he needed to do in Sxotland by smashing the Old Firm with the Dons. His time at Rangers was in his own words, ruined by "religious bigots" and "diseased zealots". That's from his book "Managing My Life" (1999). Yes, Alex Ferguson is a proud Scot and loves going back to visit Glasgow and Aberdeen, and indeed Scotland in general "it's a great country" but if you think he's pining for Rangers you may need to think about that one again, bud.
@Hill16Dub. I’m not stupid mate, obviously I’m aware of what happened, am not oblivious to it. But you’ve obviously got his experience mixed up with some form of resentment towards Rangers nowadays which isn’t the case at all.... bud. Times have changed, he obviously knows that and still loves Rangers Football Club. Get over it.
I met Cloughie in a book shop in Boro and he signed 2 books for me so I took both back to work and by the end of the day they had both been nicked by thieving Boro gets thank God I was born in stockton
@@purdz1875 Same mate. Man Utd are my team, but I've also watched the Gers over 100 times. Great to see you back and hopefully going to win 55. WATP & GGMU.
My first thought is, this is in winter, when did Fergie ever have the free time in winter to take a trip up to Scotland with such a hectic work schedule?
I love when people go back to where they grew up and their accent really comes out
dont know about you mate, but i never noticed Fergie of all people losing his accent. always watch him w/subtitles...

Players nowadays talk about the humble beginnings. No, THESE truly were humble beginnings that Sir Alex had. Proper character building.
Not humble at all normal good working class Glasgow upbringing he had like most Glasgow people
I think you need to look at the upbringing of a lot African and South America players and you will really understand what humble beginnings are my friend
Formidable character
@@boxingsage5675 life was quite alot tougher in the 50s and 60s in Scotland than today Tbf.
@@boxingsage5675 glasgow was a very tough poor place back then
When Ferguson left he took the last premiership medal awarded to a united manager.. what a great man all the best MCCF
See Fergie had his blazer fashioned from the upholstery of that car he's travelling in. As was the style at the time.
Let's get this title for the biggest legend of Manchester United football club.
Don't talk crap
I don't think the squad can sustain a title challenge like city, liverpool. They're not there yet.
@@athuldas4959 not just yet, but give them another 10 to 15 years
Keep dreaming laa
@@nobby2783 scouse knob
Fergie's tour of different holes from his childhood. One in the primary school wall there. Another one, as well. Very moving stuff.
This man was the best thing ever to come out of Glasgow. And perhaps Scotland as whole.
what about jimmy cranky
And rab c Nesbit
Nah Alex salmond or Nicola sturgeon are the only 2 people who want a better future for Scotland. Billy connellys another honourable mention.
wot about Rob Roy McGreggor???

What. A. Man. Best manager ever. Had his best playing days at the team I support, Dunfermline Athletic in the 60's. Long live Fergie. 🏴
We gotta win the title for him this year! ❤️
Haaaaaa your deluded
Waa haaa haa haaa haaa
Don't kid yourself. Price for United to win the title = 6*EPL prize money= 400 million more ATLEAST

@@robinhood7874 who then
Great video! I wish he won the CL in 2002 which was held in his hometown
At 4.52 he says that he's terrified of dying, whilst travelling along not wearing a seatbelt haha!!!
You've got to think this was filmed probably nearly 30 years ago when everyone weren't such massive vaginas.
This was brilliant. Love the way people walking past got involved as well.
The thing that always impressed be about Alex Ferguson was how he carried himself and his memory in terms of names was genuinely off the scale good.
I got sent up to ask him for his autograph twice by friends who were too scared, he said to me "what do you say" the second time as I did not say please... that was 1966 dennistoun Waverley football ground in the East end of glasgow, I was 11.
All these classic Man Utd videos mean so much to me and so many united fans out there. Thank you so much.
Glesga man through n through.
We never forget oor City.
But seems you forgot how to spell
My old man comes from the wine alley down that way well when it was there. Fergie is the best thing to come from that place it’s nothing like it was
He never once wore his seatbelt in that car. Brave b'stard.
He's gotten used to not belting up after drunk driving so much
The Seatbelt law started in 1989. probably filmed before 89
@@sbc1t Was filmed in 1995.
@@sbc1t That's not correct. It has been a legal requirement since 1965. It was made law in 1989 for children to wear seat belts in the back seats.
Not only that, one minute he's in the front seat and then in the back the next. Mayhem
2:03 just your typical spray paint of I.R.A on the wall.
it is pretty typical in Glasgow, as is uvf

He Really Is A True Real Glasgow Rangers Man,
"For some reason I got voted as the shop steward." For some reason - LOL - who shall we send the quiet one or the loud,

The team in Aberdeen was some thing else
The seats in the car look ridiculously comfy! 😂
great docu' seems a genuine guy.
Like my late father . A boy from Govan who made a difference to the world of football ⚽️.
Total respect to Alex he has never forgot his govan roots
"This beast was born here".... Truly a beast in football management.
Scottish legend
Greatest manager in British history
