Listen Later

In this episode of How Good Were They?, we dive into the legendary career of Sir Alex Ferguson, the most successful football manager in British history. From winning European silverware with Aberdeen to transforming Manchester United into a global powerhouse, Ferguson's reign reshaped modern football.

We explore his 13 Premier League titles, 2 UEFA Champions League wins, and unforgettable moments like the 1999 Treble. But was it just trophies — or something deeper? We unpack his man-management skills, his tactical adaptability, and his unmatched ability to rebuild title-winning squads across decades.

Then come the curveballs: Was his European record slightly underwhelming? Would he survive the modern era’s lack of patience? And did United’s financial dominance give him an unfair advantage?

With insight from legends like Cristiano Ronaldo, Eric Cantona, and Pep Guardiola, plus fan verdicts and legacy talk, we ask the ultimate question: Was Sir Alex Ferguson truly the greatest manager of all time?

🎧 Hit play and relive the era of mind games, last-minute winners, and managerial genius.
