Born in Govan, Glasgow, on 31 December 1941, Ferguson was the son of a shipyard worker and a Catholic primary schoolteacher. He began his football career with Queen’s Park before signing for Scottish club Rangers in 1957. Ferguson’s playing career saw him win several trophies with Rangers, including the Scottish League championship in 1964–65 and the Scottish Cup in 1962. He also played for the Scottish national team, earning 29 caps and scoring nine goals.
Ferguson’s first managerial job was with East Stirlingshire in 1974. He achieved some success with the club, winning the Second Division title in 1977–78. Ferguson then moved to Aberdeen, where he won three Scottish Cups, four Scottish League Cups and the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1983. He also led Aberdeen to victory in the 1983–84 Scottish Cup Final, which resulted in Aberdeen being the only Scottish team to win a European trophy.
In 1986, Ferguson was appointed as manager of Manchester United, a position he would hold for 27 years. During his time at Manchester United, Ferguson won 38 trophies, including 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups and two UEFA Champions League titles. He also became the first manager of an English club to win the treble of the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League in 1998–99. In May 2013, Ferguson announced his retirement as Manchester United manager.
In total, Ferguson won 49 trophies during his managerial career, which is a world record. He is also the longest-serving manager of Manchester United, having served for 26 years and 10 months.
