Almost 10 years ago, on New Year’s Day 2002, Sir Alex Ferguson believed he had finally retired from the greatest job in English soccer: manager of the most legendary sporting club of all, Manchester United. Ferguson, who had already achieved everything he could in the game he lived for, had celebrated his 60th birthday the day before. Now he was at home, taking a nap after a long lunch, when his wife, Cathy, kicked his foot to wake him up. When he opened his eyes, Cathy was standing in front of him backed by his three adult sons. “We’ve decided you’re not retiring,” she said. And that was that.



This incident is remarkable for a couple of reasons. For one, it disproved the most indelible rule of sport — that there is no such thing as a second act, still less an encore. You have to know when to quit. In the decade since he withdrew his notice of retirement, Ferguson has renewed and enhanced his club’s status as the most valuable sporting brand in the world, and eclipsed all younger pretenders. More important, the incident is perhaps the only recorded occasion in which Ferguson, the embodiment of both an irresistible force and an immovable object, has allowed himself to be told what to do. Cathy, his childhood sweetheart and wife of 45 years, had her reasons: “When he’s under your feet, it’s a nuisance,” she has said. “If he’s here too long, he gets in my road.”
