Sir
Alex Ferguson has had a road named after him – and declared it is a
“privilege”. The former Manchester United manager was on hand to unveil the new
street sign for the road leading to the club’s Old Trafford stadium. The road,
previously known as Water’s Reach, now goes by the name of Sir Alex
Ferguson Way.
Manchester United’s website reported
that before doing the honours, Sir Alex addressed the crowd and said: “It’s a
privilege and an honour to have a road named after me. You don’t expect these
things in life.
“It encapsulates probably the
last 26 years – coming to the great club, the history of it. It's been an
incredible journey for me, ending today for me to unveil this road sign: Sir
Alex Ferguson Way."
“I'm really proud of that and I'm
proud of everyone who has been associated with the club.
Sir Alex, 71 also received the
honourary freedom of the Borough of Trafford at a formal ceremony at the
council chambers.
