Sir Alex Ferguson



Manchester United manager and Knight of The Realm, Sir Alex Ferguson showed his extraordinary adaptability during a press conference yesterday by affecting a very convincing Scottish accent.

Ahead of the Champions League tie tonight against Glasgow Celtic, Ferguson, a working class hero,  faltered hilariously when trying to pronounce the name of Celtic's injured Dutch striker, Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink,  before eventually giving up and retorting:

He's no fi CastleMuwk onywey...

The assembled Scottish media pack laughed uproariously and some were forced to retire completely from the press conference unable to ask any further questions.

Betting without Stephen Fry, Fergie would surely be a contender for GLE.
