Legendary former Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has been named a lifelong member of Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt.
Frankfurt officially announced Sir Alex Ferguson’s induction on their website, highlighting the significance of his association with the club. Sir Alex reminisced about witnessing Frankfurt play against his childhood team, Rangers, in the 1960 European Cup semi-final.
“In the first leg, Frankfurt beat Rangers 6-1. I was at the second leg when they came to Ibrox with 70,000 spectators.
“Of course, we felt hopeful and told ourselves that the Rangers could come back. In the end, they lost again by six goals. I was a Rangers fan and only lived about 200 metres from Ibrox. I also attended the final and hoped Frankfurt would win as they had beaten Rangers.”
During his illustrious 26-year tenure at Manchester United, Sir Alex secured an impressive 38 trophies, cementing his status as a legend and earning widespread respect at the club.
