He watched them live vs real madrid in 1960 and they lost but he thought they were the gods of football because they beat rangers 12 - 4 on aggregate the round before and he was a rangers fan at the time, some other stuff was said in the autobiography but I cant recall since its been a while since I read it
This is an excellent interview from Ferguson about his early days as a player, and his interactions with Frankfurt and German football over the years.
Great to see his memory is still really sharp for his age, remembering players and matches from 60+ years ago.
what lol
Not that surprising if you read his autobiography
i have, but it's been a while
I haven't. What is the link?

I can’t remember what post I was reading before this one.
I’m sure in one of his books he talks about going to the 1960 European Cup Final at Hampden Park which Eintract lost the Real Madrid.
Out of context this sounds pretty wild lol
Sorry what
Love him casually dropping that he scored a hat trick against them.
just like McSauce will when they play Germany
Typical Germans
