Sir Alexander Chapman "Alex" Ferguson

(born 31 December 1941) is a former Scottish football manager and player who managed Manchester United from 1986 to 2013. His time at the club has led to Ferguson being regarded as one of the most successful, admired and respected managers in the history of the game.^[5]
 
Ferguson managed East Stirlingshire and St. Mirren before a highly successful period as manager of Aberdeen. After briefly managing Scotland following the death of Jock Stein, he was appointed manager of Manchester United in November 1986.

 One Sunday in December of 2011, After seated with no plans of going anywhere I had decided to take sometime to try out a sketch of this legendary European figure. 

Since I was unprepared, I could not get my pencils (for I did not remember where I had placed them the last time i had used them, and plus I did not want to bother) so I picked the pen I was using to fill in that Sunday newspaper's crossword puzzle and begun sketching.

It took me half an hour to get the first sketch I could call "starting point". From there I guess the ball pen did the rest. 

After approximately two hurs and plenty of minutes now I was ready to step back and look at the sketch I had made from my critic length, that's what I call it.

Ferguson is the longest serving manager of Manchester United, overtaking Sir Matt Busby's record on 19 December 2010, eventually completing more than 26-and-a-half years as the club's manager. He has won many awards and holds many records including winning Manager of the Year most times in British football history. In 2008, he became the third British manager to win the European Cup on more than one occasion. He was knighted in the 1999 Queen's Birthday Honours list, for his services to the game.^[6]

On 8 May 2013, Ferguson announced his retirement as manager of Manchester United. During his 26 years at the club, he won 38 trophies, including 13 Premier League and two UEFA Champions League titles
