Available for over a year

As Manchester United prepare to defend their Premier League title, Sporting Witness looks back to Sir Alex Ferguson's early years in management at Scottish club, Aberdeen. Former Aberdeen assistant manager Archie Knox, and former midfielder Neale Cooper, remember how Ferguson's unique style turned perennial under-achievers into European champions in 1983. The success made Sir Alex Ferguson's reputation and put him on the road to Manchester United. PHOTO: Alex Ferguson and Archie Knox with the European Cup Winner's Cup (Courtesy Aberdeen F.C.)
