I remember the first time I saw him. He was 13 and just floated over the ground like a cockier spaniel chasing a piece of silver paper in the wind.

More quotes by Alex Ferguson
As long as there are games to play its not over
Alex Ferguson
He is improving all the time. He is only 21 and who knows what he is capable of. (on Cristiano Ronaldo)
Alex Ferguson
They say he's an intelligent man, right? Speaks five languages! I've got a 15-year-old boy from the Ivory Coast who speaks five languages!
Alex Ferguson
You start with what you believe in. I believe in building a football club rather than building a football team.
Alex Ferguson
I was doing all the coaching schools so that I'd be able to stay in the game, and I gave myself a chance by doing that. I was only an average player, could score a goal or two, that sort of thing, but I wasn't a Bobby Charlton or a Messi, or Ronaldo. There are very, very few really great players who have become great coaches.
Alex Ferguson
I bet him he wouldn't get 15 league goals and I'm going to have to change my bet with him. If he gets to 15 I can change it and I am allowed to do that because I'm the manager. I'm going to make it 150 now!
Alex Ferguson
It was the most emphatic display of selflessness I have seen on a football field. Pounding over every blade of grass, competing as if he would rather die of exhaustion than lose, he inspired all around him.
Alex Ferguson
The lads really ran their socks into the ground.
Alex Ferguson
I think that fear does come into it in some respect in the sense of when I lost my temper I didn't hide behind a bush on it in respect to the times that I did lose my temper. But you know the quality that I had when I lost my temper, I never, ever brought it back again.
Alex Ferguson
That lad must have been born offside.
Alex Ferguson
I do believe in fate.
Alex Ferguson
I understand the intensity of the supporters. I wonder how they could turn up for work on Monday morning after we lost 5-1 to Manchester City.
Alex Ferguson
I always said to the directors that the minute a player becomes more powerful than the manager of Manchester United, it's not Manchester United. You have lost control of the whole club. So I always made sure that I was in control. They always knew who the manager was.
Alex Ferguson
It was time for me to spend more time with my wife. I'm not saying I do spend more time with my wife, because she would throw me out of the house, but we have breakfast together. I never did.
Alex Ferguson
In any normal season, most of the teams below Chelsea would think they are doing quite well.
Alex Ferguson
We once went 13 games without winning. There's always pressure here. Winning is always important here. How do you handle yourself and compose yourself is important. (on Manchester United)
Alex Ferguson
I'm going to tell you the story about the geese which fly 5,000 miles from Canada to France.
Alex Ferguson
We are very focused this time and our preparation has been better. We maybe made one or two mistakes last time, but not this time.
Alex Ferguson
I've got a temper if I need it. Nothing wrong with losing your temper, if it's for the right reasons.
Alex Ferguson
Myths grow all the time. If I was to listen to the number of times I've thrown teacups then we've gone through some crockery in this place. It's completely exaggerated, but I don't like people arguing back with me.
