Ferguson gets medal 40 years after Aberdeen’s famous European win FMTNews FMTSports
Alex Ferguson, known as one of the greatest managers in football history, guided Scottish club Aberdeen before moving on to Manchester United.
Before Ferguson became a serial winner with English side Manchester United, where he won 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League trophies among other honours, he managed Aberdeen from 1978 to 1986. However, only the starting 11 and five substitutes received winners’ medals on the night in Gothenburg.“It’s a great honour to be receiving this medal and I am grateful to everyone who has worked so hard to make this happen,” Ferguson, 81, said in a statement.
Assistant manager Archie Knox and midfielder Dougie Bell – who missed out on a place in the squad due to injury – will also receive medals.
