Had a 'discussion' with someone a few months ago about Alex Ferguson being the best ever. He disagreed and said. "He can only do it with money and a big team, unlike Brian Clough." All I said to them was, "Aberdeen 1983 - beat Bayern Munich in the quarters and Real Madrid in the final. Who did Forest beat? Malmo?" : )
No one matches up to Ferguson for me, and I'm not a United or Aberdeen supporter. 13 league titles, 2 Champions Leagues and a handful of FA Cups at United. Built at least four great sides at United over 26 years and kept pace (and was still top dog) when the game was drastically changing more than it ever had before. Saw off challenger after challenger at different stages, and United were hardly world beaters when he took the job. Add to that what he did at Aberdeen beforehand, breaking the Old Firm dominance is Scotland seems genuinely impossible nowadays, and to then conquer Europe with them as well? He is the greatest manager of all time, not a doubt in my mind. Stein, Busby, Clough and Shankly would probably make up my top 5. Paisley it's more difficult to say because you could argue the foundations were laid for him, but then again 6 league titles and 3 European Cups in nine years is an unbelievable record for anybody.
It’s like comparing Ronaldo and Messi as far as I’m concerned. Both incredible leaders of men and they’re in their own category along with Bill Shankly
@@TheLowerIntestine I'm not a Chelsea fan but what club doesn't buy trophies? Clubs buy the best players they can afford, that's why the biggest clubs in the world win the most trophies. They days of tiny clubs like Aberdeen winning European trophies are long gone.
2-1 down listening to the radio at the Youth Club aged 14 and devastated that we were basically out, at least as far as most were concerned - I ran home as the final minutes ticked away. Radio on when I got home and it was 3-2 Aberdeen … I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! I can remember the goals and commentators remarks and tone to this day - I must have watched the TV highlights that evening. Unbelievable.
We're the Dons, from Aberdeen, And we're the finest, that's ever been, And we're gonna do it for you, And we're gonna do it for you, McLeish and Miller, and Strachan too, Will take us forward, and take us through, Cos we're gonna do it, We're gonna do it, We're gonna do it for you. ... CHORUS:- We're taking our team into Europe, Yes we are oh yes we are, All the way, every night and day, Singing the european song. Oh all the way, every night and day, Singing the european song. ... We can sing, and we can play Cos Alex Ferguson, he knows the way, And we're gonna do it, We're gonna do it We're gonna do it for you -Lyrics The european song aberdeen
Fergie and Mark McGee were waiting with the cup at Aberdeen harbour to thank and shake the hand of every Aberdeen fan on the St Clair ferry from Gothemburg.
Those are idiotic UEFALONA fans or City fans lol. Sir Alex is the greatest of all time and Pep isn't even top 5 yet (Sir Alex, Ancelotti, Lippi, Cruyff, Sacchi, Del Bosque, Jose, then Pep)
I often fight with myself to argue, what was Fergie's greatest achievement in football. Was it the 1983 season when Aberdeen won the ECWC, Scottish Cup and only lost the league title by one point, or the 1999 Treble winning season with Manchester United? The 1999 season was incredible, no doubt. The teams they beat to get to the final in Barcelona, and the challenge of Arsenal at home were an enormous challenge. Then look at a small scottish team, with a fairly small 1st team squad that in the end lost two great players towards the end of the season due to injury, and on the way beat arguably the two biggest European football sides of that time - Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Take squads, budgets... take everything into account, and I'll still put my money on the 1983 season being his greatest achievement
Ferguson winning the league with Phil Jones in the back is more impressive than winning the treble with legendary players. That United Squad would go on to finish 7th with a very good manager in David Moyes
The European super cup as well with Aberdeen that season . Some achievement. I agree with you . It was a massive accomplishment .Also just losing out on the league title to a fantastic Dundee utd side who made the European cup semi final the next season only to be put out by Roma who had afterwards admitted bribing the referee . I personally believe utd could have won the European cup that year if not for the bribes . Liverpool players admitted they feared them more than roma. Scottish football was in a good place then .
It's the European Song - released by the club back in 1983 for the European Cup Winners' Cup final. Here's a version on TH-cam with lyrics - enjoy! th-cam.com/video/0qiDrT398yk/w-d-xo.html
another big disappointment. I'm the "normal" person. I have always respected Sir Alex Ferguson. He was the most popular football manager. Now it's just Alec Ferguson - the mind reader. This planet stinks. Everything is fake.

Forest had to beat liverool whcih were the domiant force of england and euripen in that time alsl pretty sure sir alex and clough respect each other
@@jawid6248Clough did great, but he's not in Fergie level. Clough should have been England manager. Not being Fergie level is no shame.
Fergie has won the league with an average team l

This is why the man is the greatest of All time
The last team to beat the mighty Real Madrid in a European Final.. STAND FREE 👊👊
galatasaray turkey 2-1 real madrid 2000 august super cup final
@@veselinsergeev A major European final dude not a glamourised friendly 😂😂
@@veselinsergeev atletico beat them aswell
Aberdeen winning the ECWC means so much more than the likes of Chelsea winning the Champions League
Not to Chelsea fans it doesn't.
@@johntate5050 Come off it, you bought that trophy.

The difference is that those teams have earned the money through succes on the pitch
Chelsea, PSG and City havent

Alex Ferguson over any manager he’s the goat
I was there that night and what a night it was. Still gives me goosebumps............
Respect for showing this video showed how Aberdeen were a great side under credit to everyone at the Club solid team coach and management 👏
We're the Dons, from Aberdeen,
And we're the finest, that's ever been,
And we're gonna do it for you,
And we're gonna do it for you,
McLeish and Miller, and Strachan too,
Will take us forward, and take us through,
Cos we're gonna do it,
We're gonna do it,
We're gonna do it for you.
...
CHORUS:- We're taking our team into Europe,
Yes we are oh yes we are,
All the way, every night and day,
Singing the european song.
Oh all the way, every night and day,
Singing the european song.
...
We can sing, and we can play
Cos Alex Ferguson, he knows the way,
And we're gonna do it,
We're gonna do it
We're gonna do it for you

An outpost of football puts the masters to the sword. BRILLIANT

Goosebumps THIS MAN IS THE GREATEST
McLeish and Miller, and Strachan too, they'll lead us forward, and take us through, we can sing and we can play, but Alex Ferguson, he knows the way.
Love sir Alex man ❤️
