Barbara McNarry has been delighted with the response to the new book about her brother, George Best Will Not Be Playing Today.

The publication contains poignant messages from fans and celebrities about how Best touched their lives and also previously unseen photographs of the United icon.

"It’s a much-used phrase but this really was a labour of love for me," Barbara told ManUtd.com. "I enjoyed every long hour I worked on that book and feel it’s something unique and totally different. It’s the ultimate accolade to George."

Barbara will be signing copies of the book in the Old Trafford Megastore this Saturday 26 November, from 10:00 - 12:00, a few hours before the Newcastle game and six years and a day after her beloved brother passed away.

Sir Alex supports soldiers

"We should be playing tribute to the job the soldiers do and the sacrifices they make in a big way and hopefully this donation will make a big impact.”

- Sir Alex Ferguson

18/11/2011 16:00, Report by Gemma Thompson

Sir Alex has had an extremely busy few weeks with the usual run of matches, coupled with a number of events to mark his 25th anniversary at the club.

Some of those events helped raised money for The Elizabeth Hardie Ferguson Charitable Trust Fund which was set up by the manager in memory of his late mother.

Each year funds from the Trust are donated to a charity of the boss’ choice and this year an incredible £100,000 has gone to the ABF The Soldiers' Charity, which provides support and financial assistance to serving and retired soldiers and their families.

Sir Alex told ManUtd.com he is delighted to be able to lend his support to the charity and hopes the money will go a long way to helping many of the country’s war heroes.

“It’s the most talked about issue in Britain at the moment – not only are soldiers losing their lives, a number of them are coming back from Afghanistan with all sorts of injuries,” he explained.

“You couldn’t help but feel emotional when you watched The Remembrance Service last weekend - we should be playing tribute to the job the soldiers do and the sacrifices they make in a big way, and hopefully this donation will make a big impact.”

Lieutenant Colonel Richard Hackett MBE, Regional Director of Fundraising for the West Midlands office of the charity, visited Carrington this week to collect a cheque from Sir Alex and Paul Hardman, Treasure of the Trust Fund, and to thank them for their support.

“I was overwhelmed by the generosity of Sir Alex and the trustees. It’s great to know the manager is such a proud supporter of the charity,” he said.

“Last year we helped over 4,000 soldiers across the country at a cost of around £7million. By 2015 we estimate that we’ll need to make around £15m. So there’s great pressure to keep on raising funds and the donation from Sir Alex is a real godsend and something we’re extremely grateful for.”

Why Sir Alex Ferguson is the greatest survivor

By Chris Bevan
BBC Sport

Football's top names pay tribute to the longevity of Sir Alex Ferguson

Berlin were at number one with the theme to Top Gun when Sir Alex Ferguson took charge of Manchester United in November 1986, but a more appropriate cinematic reference from the autumn of that year is Highlander - the story of an ageless Scottish warrior whose feats transcend time.

Ferguson's kind of magic is his ability to win trophies - and his haul of silverware and his longevity at Old Trafford are undoubtedly related.

But, putting to one side his repeated successes, the fact he has lasted 25 years as United manager is an unprecedented achievement at any level in the professional game in the modern era in England, let alone the very highest.

There are 13 managers above him in the long-serving list in this country but all of them began their tenures more than 100 years ago and cannot be fairly compared.

Unless, like Highlander's Connor MacLeod, Ferguson really IS immortal, he is unlikely to outlast Fred Everiss, who spent 46 years as manager of West Bromwich Albion from 1902, for example.

But, back then, management was more of an administrative role than the delicate mix of tactical nous, mind games, media and man-management plus financial acumen that it is now.

"I'm the manager of the biggest club in the world... but I am not intimidated by the size of the job I have taken on. I can and will cope"

Sir Alex Ferguson speaking after taking charge of United in 1986

It has become a cut-throat business too. Since its formation in 1992, the average time spent in situ by Premier League managers is 4.09 seasons and, in the entire Football League, that drops to 2.14 seasons in the same period.

According to the League Managers' Association (LMA), a body Ferguson helped form almost 20 years ago, 1,052 managers in the English game have been sacked, resigned or left by mutual consent since he was appointed to replace Ron Atkinson on 6 November 1986.

Of the 22 other men (John Sillett and George Curtis shared duties at Coventry) who were then in charge of teams in what was known as the Today League Division One, only Kenny Dalglish remains in top-flight management.

Dalglish is, of course, back at Anfield after his decade-long sabbatical from the game but he has spent fewer than 11 of the last 25 years in management.

So just how and why has Ferguson stuck around for so long? There are many factors but Howard Wilkinson - his sparring partner at Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds in the 1980s and 90s, and long-term colleague on the LMA board - feels the most important is that management is in his DNA. It has to be.

"If you look at the ideal profile for success in this profession these days then Alex has all of those qualities," Wilkinson told BBC Sport.

FERGUSON'S UNITED REIGN IN NUMBERS

• 1,409 games
• 836 wins
• 326 draws
• 247 defeats
• 2,579 goals scored
• 1,262 conceded

"He has a consuming desire to be better and better and he is obsessed by the subject of football. He has a thirst for knowledge and he baulks at all of the advice concerning a balanced lifestyle - it's 24/7 as far as he is concerned and a way of life. Management is what he is, not what he does.

"But he is not a one-trick pony, which is one of his strengths. He is a very well-read, well educated person who will have discussions with you about subjects that would amaze people. And don't even think about taking him on in a quiz!"

Another member of the class of 1986, Jim Smith, would go on to become one of Ferguson's closest friends. The then-QPR boss feels United are as important to him as he became to the club.

Smith has worked at nine clubs during his 39 years in management. He said: "The key to him staying at Old Trafford is his hunger and desire to be the best and work in the environment he loves.

"He is a super humble guy. He realises the value of the job he is in and he works very hard to keep it.

"You always have an incentive when you move clubs, because you either move because you have been sacked and you want to prove people wrong, or you move because you have been successful and you want to kick on. Alex has had that determination while walking through the same doors for 25 years. It's the biggest club in the world, which makes a difference, but it is still incredible."

In 1986-87...

• Kenny Dalglish's Liverpool side were trophy-less after winning the Double the previous season
• Roy Hodgson guided Malmo to the first of five Allsvenskan league titles in Sweden
• Arsene Wenger was relegated from Ligue 1 with AS Nancy
• Harry Redknapp took Bournemouth into Division Two for the first time
• Neil Warnock won promotion to the Football League with Scarborough

A quarter of a century ago, aside from Ferguson and Dalglish, just four other managers currently at Premier League clubs had even embarked on a career in the dugout - Arsene Wenger at AS Nancy, Roy Hodgson with Malmo, Harry Redknapp at Bournemouth and Neil Warnock at Scarborough.

Hodgson has changed jobs 14 times in the same period, Warnock nine. Redknapp has moved five times and even Wenger and Dalglish have been at three other clubs.

Significantly, only Ferguson has not spent even a single day out of football in all that time.

"Alex has a great determination to win football matches but he has energy too and that is a magical thing," said David Pleat, who in 1986 was also a highly rated young coach who had just taken over at Tottenham and would himself enjoy a managerial career spanning 33 years.

"To have that energy he has to pace himself. I am quite sure he will have cat-naps from time to time at this stage in his life but he comes out fighting again. It is a treadmill but sometimes people thrive on that type of intensity and I think he is a classic case."

Undoubtedly, those demands have increased as the football landscape has developed. It is unrecognisable now from 1986-87, when Dave Bassett steered tiny Wimbledon to sixth place in the Dons' first season in the top flight.

PHIL MCNULTY'S BLOG

Ferguson may be a divisive figure to some without a strong allegiance to Old Trafford, but even those who temper their admiration for the Scot cannot contest his right to be regarded among the finest managers football has known

Read the rest of Phil's blog

"Alex has admitted himself his job is different now," Bassett told BBC Sport. "The game is the same - pitches and the nets are the same size and 50% of goals are still scored from set-plays - but a manager has a lot more to do, from the explosion of interest in the media to dealing with agents, plus the changing profile of players and international owners.

"He has adapted but he has also delegated to people who have got the same values as him. He trusts them to do some of the jobs for him and he has selected very well."

How long will Ferguson, who turns 70 on 31 December, continue for? Who knows. Only last year he said "retirement is for young people" and Wilkinson, the LMA chairman, can see him carrying on for a while yet.

"I don't know whether switching off is an alternative for him," Wilkinson said. "I'm sure, if and when he does step down, he won't retire in the sense of going from something to nothing. He will do something else."

The wit and wisdom of Sir Alex

06/11/2011 09:00,

Sir Alex is one of the most quoted men in football: and when the boss speaks, you listen. Here are some of our favourite quotes from down the years...

Instilling a work ethic

"Part of my job is to make sure these lads keep their feet on the ground. I hammer it into them that the work ethic is what got them through the door here in the first place, and they must never lose it. I say to them, ‘When you go home to your mother, make sure she is seeing the same person she sent to me, because if you take all this fame and money the wrong way, your mother'll be disappointed with you'."

"I never give in or give up easily on either a player or a cause. Even if the team have won, I’m not always happy because standards are all-important to me and, if they have dropped, I’m angry."

"We don’t give in, we play right to the end. It’s not an accident: it’s part of the make-up of the team."

"This team might not have the Ronaldo factor, but it doesn’t understand the word defeat."

Letting them know who’s boss

"I can still remember my very first game in charge away at Oxford. I had done my team talk and was going into the dugout when I saw the bus driver sitting there. He was even giving the tea out at half-time. Let’s say that quickly stopped."

"I’m privileged to have followed Sir Matt because all you have to do is to try to maintain the standards that he set so many years ago."

To the assembled journalists trying to predict a team selection in 1998: "Never try to read the mind of a madman!"

"Jock Stein told me there’s nothing wrong with losing your temper for the right reasons – and I think 70 to 80 per cent of the time I’ve done it for the right reasons. Sometimes it would be premeditated to get my point across, to keep players’ feet on the ground, but I’m going back 15 years. I’m a pussycat now – and too old to lose my temper."

Taking on your rivals

"My greatest challenge is not what’s happening at the moment, my greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their perch. And you can print that."

On post-match drinks with Jose Mourinho: "He was certainly full of it, calling me boss and big man when we had our post-match drink. But it would help if his greetings were accompanied by a decent glass of wine. What he gave me was paint-stripper."

Knowing his players

"[Schmeichel] was towering over me and the other players were almost covering their eyes. I’m looking up and thinking 'if he does hit me, I’m dead'."

"If he was an inch taller he’d be the best centre-half in Britain. His father is 6ft 2in – I’d check the milkman."

"Nothing [Eric] Cantona did in matches meant more than the way he opened my eyes to the indispensability of practice."

"David Beckham is Britain’s finest striker of a football not because of God-given talent but because he practises with a relentless application that the vast majority of less-gifted players wouldn’t contemplate."

Classic Ferguson quotes

"When an Italian tells me it’s pasta on the plate I check under the sauce to make sure. They are the inventors of the smokescreen."
"I can’t believe it. I can’t believe it. Football. Bloody hell."
On press concerns over Wayne Rooney’s temper in 2004: "What were you like when you were 19? I was trying to start a workers’ revolution in Glasgow. My mother thought I was a Communist."
"Pippo Inzaghi – that lad was born offside."
"It’s getting tickly now – squeaky-bum time, I call it."

United 1 Sunderland 0

5 NOVEMBER 2011, OLD TRAFFORD Attendance: 75,570

05/11/2011 17:00, Report by Nick Coppack.

On the eve of Sir Alex's 25th anniversary in charge of Manchester United, the Reds boss celebrated in a manner he's become so accustomed to down the years: by guiding his team to victory.

Rather cruelly for Wes Brown, though, it was his gift of an own goal, on his first visit back to Old Trafford after leaving for Sunderland in the summer, that settled the contest.

At the end of a game that was largely devoid of, United had moved to within two points of Manchester City (the Blues later beat Queens Park Rangers 3-2 to restore a five-point advantage), albeit without displaying much of the artistry and adventure that has characterised so many of Sir Alex's sides down the years. The tributes came from elsewhere, though. A giant banner was hung the length of the Stretford End, supporters received commemorative tribute magazines and Sir Alex himself was paraded before Old Trafford before kick-off, entering the pith through a guard of honour formed by the two teams.

Then came a bombshell: the club, for the first time in the stadium's 101-year history, had taken the extraordinary step of renaming one of its stands after an individual. Fittingly, Old Trafford's grandest structure, the hulking 26,000-capacity North Stand, is now known as the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand.

Of course, all this pomp and pageantry was just a prelude to the main event: a Barclays Premier League fixture the Reds  were desperate to win. The contest began badly for Sunderland striker Conor Wickham, though, who appeared to twist his ankle in a freak off-the-ball incident before even 60 seconds had elapsed. His afternoon was over barely after it had begun.

Fellow Black Cats forward Nicklas Bendtner then forced the first save of the game, placing a low shot to countryman Anders Lindegaard's right. The Reds goalkeeper, making only his second league appearance, was equal to the test and gathered the ball at the second attempt after stretching to parry the initial shot.

United took far longer to settle and were too often wasteful with possession in the final third. In fact, it took until the 31st minute to muster a shot on goal, Wayne Rooney blasting straight at Keiren Westwood in the Sunderland goal.

Little improved soon after, although the Reds did have a half-hearted shout for a penalty (correctly) turned down when Sebastian Larsson bundled Chicharito to the ground after Darren Fletcher's neat pass had sent the Mexican through on goal.

Summer signing Phil Jones almost opened his United account in spectacular fashion when he volleyed a bouncing ball just over the bar from 18 yards. He then combined well with Nani down the right in a move that ended with Westwood making a sharp save down to his right to deny the Portuguese.

From the resulting corner, the Reds took the lead in first-half injury time, although there was plenty of doubt over who should be credited with the goal. Danny Welbeck wheeled away in celebration, while Wes Brown stood disconsolate on the edge of the six-yard box. What was clear was that Nani's set-piece had ended up in the net after Welbeck and Sunderland's central defensive pairing had challenged for the aerial ball.

The goal may have sent United into the break 1-0 up and spared Sir Alex's men the full force of a famous “hairdryer” team-talk, but the boss will no doubt still have issued a few stern words. After all, his side had been off the pace for long periods in the first half.

Happily, the Reds did look brighter after the interval. Nani blasted a 30-yard free-kick just wide of the post and Ji-sung Park posed Sunderland's left side plenty of questions with some direct running. But it was another corner that almost yielded a second goal. This time, another former Red, Kieran Richardson, headed off the line to deny Hernandez.

Then came a moment of extreme controversy. A curling cross was whipped into the box towards Sunderland substitute Ji Dong-Won, Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic. There was certainly contact with a hand and referee Lee Mason blew his whistle. First, on what appeared to be the advice of his assistant, he pointed to the penalty spot. But United defenders were livid and argued it had been Dong-Won's hand – not one of theirs – that had affected the ball's flight. So Mason consulted his assistant on the touchline and, after a brief discussion, motioned instead for a Reds free-kick.

Old Trafford breathed a sigh of relief and, but for the heroics of Westwood in the Sunderland goal, the home side almost doubled the lead moments later. First Westwood flung himself to his right to parry Rooney's powerful shot. Then, when Patrice Evra looked to tuck the follow-up into the roof of the net, the Manchester-born stopper somehow reached skywards to tip the ball over the bar and out for a corner.

Unfortunately for Sunderland, though, it was another Mancunian playing for the Black Cats, Wes Brown, who ended up having the biggest impact on this game.

Scout's honour for Ron

"'When making a career, it is best to start at the top', is my motto. I don't believe in starting at the bottom in the hope that one will rise accordingly. Go for the best and you will end up the best."

- Ron Cattell 

19/09/2011 17:00, Report by Adam Marshall

After calling time on his 40 years of service as a United scout, Ron Cattell was a very special guest at Sunday's game against Chelsea.

Proud to have been associated with the Reds, Ron was one of the network of spies employed by the club to run the rule over the opposition and identify promising schoolboy talent. Based in Yorkshire, he provided invaluable service to Frank O'Farrell initially before working under Sir Alex in the current golden era for the club.

A semi-professional goalkeeper in his playing days, he even lined up against a 16-year-old Duncan Edwards whilst at Buxton, Ron wrote to United after spotting a couple of youngsters in the area.

"'When making a career, it is best to start at the top', is my motto," he admitted. "I don't believe in starting at the bottom in the hope that one will rise accordingly. Go for the best and you will end up the best."

It was his dossier, personally delivered to the boss on his specific instruction, that enabled Sir Alex and his assistants to analyse Liverpool's strengths and weaknesses in forensic detail ahead of a New Year's Day game in 1989. The homework paid off when United won 4-1 on a game that sowed the seeds of the start of a real power shift in the English game.

As for players, as well as a number of schoolboys and apprentices, Tony Gill and Paul Teather were both spotted as nine-year-olds by Ron. Gill was tipped for the top before breaking his leg against Nottingham Forest and sadly seeing his fledgling career cut short and Teather also suffered injury problems but is now chief physio at Sheffield United.

Ron, who served his country in the Royal Air Force, will have enjoyed watching the champions provide the sort of entertaining football that has been the hallmark under Sir Alex during a 3-1 success against Chelsea in an eventful match.

"It's been a great honour to serve under him," he added in an exclusive interview with United Review.

"No doubt he is the greatest manager the world has ever seen."
