      Why was it bad? My understanding is that in truth Sir Alex punched Becks, would that be less bad or more? It’s a man’s world pro football not for softies or snowflakes.
      Becks was a wonderful player for my club MUFC, but if Fergie thought he deserved a crack that’s good enough for me.
      It should be noted that Becks never wanted to leave United so this incident didn’t rankle with him and they have made up since.
      I was sorry when Becks left but in his final season United won all the big games without him. That says it all.
