    Every year I forget it's his birthday and get a mini heart attack when I see his photo posted by the club

    SAF beat Real Madrid in an European final 4 decades ago, still the last manager to do that.

    His Aberdeen team was also the last Scottish team to win the league if you discount the Old Firm.

    13 league titles,the freaking treble, multiple Semis in the UCL alongside 4 finals and 2 wins, groomed Legends of the game.

    That's absurd if you think about it.

    They guy is the best manager in the world. Simple as that. There's only a couple occasions I've cried in my life, and his farewell game is one of those.

    I wish him staying happy, peaceful, healthy and comfortable until the end. I wish he sees us returning to our glory.

    That’s always the first thing that comes to mind whenever he’s in attendance or when people talk about him. More than anything, I just want him to see us bring back the glory, for SAF…

    Happy Birthday, Sir Alex. Being the damn yank I am, I didn’t always understand a word you said but I miss that Scottish accent more than anything. Forever the gaffer❤️

    And a very happy New Year. Stay healthy boss. Glory glory Sir Alex! Glory glory man united!

    Happy birthday to the boss.

    Still cant believe there is any debate over him being the greatest of all time. Not just what he did at United but Aberdeen as well.

    No chance that chequebook Pep could achieve that. No chance.

    I know Hearts are doing well atm and wanted to see the last time anyone other than Rangers/Celtic were champions and it is still his Aberdeen side from 40 years ago

    It’s bonkers isn’t it. Winning a European trophy against Real Madrid as well with Aberdeen. Nothing like that will ever be seen in football again.

    And they say Pep is the goat of managers. Man couldn't manage a decent team to Europe. We saw what happens if he only has an okayish team last year.

    Which is also the last time a team has beaten Madrid in a European final

    Many happy returns to this god like human. I am so sorry that he has to see all of his miracle work turn to shit so soon after he retired. Hope he witnesses us win the title before he meets his maker. Will be well into his 90s if we do. Poor bugger.

    For whatever reason I only just watched his documentary and it is first class.

    The boss. The last of his kind. Probably because the circus around the game got louder and his kind would not survive the player power today

    I heard somewhere that if you took the 30 most successful football clubs in terms of trophies. Sir Alex would be joint 25th.

    I met him once, in a capacity far removed from football. Being a fan of united since the 70's, I was giddy at the prospect. I had expectations of course, but what I saw was another side to him. What we saw on the pitch for all those glorious years was not there.
