Red News celebrated its 25th anniversary this month, which is quite an incredible feat, and Sir Alex Ferguson wrote a letter to them to mark the occasion.

As part of the special edition of the fanzine, I wrote an article looking at some well known Manchester United players in their 25th year.

1. Sure, you can stick to the letter of the law and say that Patrice Evra committed a foul by playing in his socks, but how would Athletic Bilbao fans feel if the boot was on the other foot? 2. Howard Webb's 25th anniversary present to Sir Alex Ferguson finally turned up then. He didn't [...]

To mark the 25th anniversary of Sir Alex Ferguson being Manchester United manager, Daniel Taylor has re-released his book This Is The One. This book saw Danny banned from Ferguson's Friday press conferences four years ago and apparently news of the re-release didn't go down too well either.

As a mark of their gratitude, yesterday saw a truly exemplary gesture on Manchester United's part with the club marking Sir Alex Ferguson's 25th anniversary by renaming the North stand at Old Trafford the 'Sir Alex Ferguson Stand' which is quite possibly the highest and most notable accolade a club can give to one of it's legends, and was made all the more poignant by the fact that United kept it schtum until the man himself took to the pitch before yesterday's game against Sunderland.

It wasn't vintage United but they came away with the win thanks to former defender Wes Brown's o.g from a Nani corner to keep Sir Alex Ferguson happy enough to celebrate his 25th anniversary as Manchester United manager in style.

Four games in the SPL today.
But I'm distracted by Sir Alex Ferguson's upcoming 25th anniversary as manager of Manchester United. A phenomena. From Govan.
The SPL didn't even exist 25 years ago. We must have had football though, whatever they try and tell us.
Must have had it because I'm sure Alex Ferguson left a top flight Scottish club to take over a top flight English club 25 years ago.

Congratulations, Fergie! Now can you please do all us non-United fans a favour and retire?

Many eulogies are being delivered on Alex Ferguson's 25th anniversary in charge of Manchester United. And rightly so. His longevity and record are phenomenal and deserve the utmost recognition.

On his 25th anniversary, Sir Alex is being hailed as one of the greatest managers of all time. Rightly so. He possesses the four qualities that shape the finest leaders of footballing men: he buys well, bonds well, prepares well and exudes an aura. Never underestimate the power of an aura in a sport where psychology is key.

Watch Bruna of Equatorial Guinea casually pick up a ball in full view of the world when it is in play. Incredibly, the referee Gyoengyi Gall from Hungary and her referee crew miss it altogether or chose to ignore it completely.

This incident took place in a Group D match against Australia in the 15th minute when Collette McCallum sends in a cross which Lila Khamis flicks onto the upright and as the ball rebounds back into play, Bruna picks it up and carries it in her hand for a couple of seconds before releasing it.

It has been well documented in the English press that today is the 25th anniversary of Diego Maradona's infamous "Hand of God" goal in Argentina's 2-1 victory over England in the 1986 FIFA World Cup. That game brought out the best and worst sides of a player who, in my opinion, was the greatest footballer ever to play the game and it is arguably what "El Diego" did in the whole of that tournament which turned me from indifferent to passaionate about the game of football.
