That's probably the first time I've heard something negative about Sir Alex, I've always heard that he's down-to-earth and will have an in-depth football conversation with just about anyone.
I've never met a footballer, but my brother-in-law used to know Ashley Young fairly well as they lived in the same street in Stevenage. One time a few years back when Ashley was at Aston Villa, Dan drove past him so decided to turn round so he could introduce Ashley to my nephew. Ashley spoke to him and promised to get him a signed picture.
So that was all forgotten about until a few months later, when my sister was shopping, she walked past Ashley's mum who came charging over to her and after talking a little, ran to her car, and she came back a few minutes later with the signed picture for my nephew from Ashley, my sister won't hear a bad word about him now!
Also, a few months back my brother was at work in his shop when loads of security-types came rushing over, placed a small table on the floor directly outside his shop and then came over with some sort of trophy. He took a picture on his phone and sent it to me asking; "Do you recognise what cup this is?" It was the FA Cup, and he was within touching distance of it! Then Garth Crooks and Dan Walker came round the corner with a camera crew and started recording a piece for Football Focus right outside the shop door! He had Crooks chatting away to him, and they even asked if he followed Stevenage in the football for an on-air interview (they were to play Newcastle United that weekend in the FA Cup) but he declined. The sod hates football as well, jammy git!
