"Sir" Alex Ferguson, as he likes to be known, said in January 2008,  'At big clubs it's paramount that the board shows its class. I've been very fortunate because I've had good directors - people like Martin Edwards.'

He was perhaps forgetting that in 1996 United press secretary Ken Ramsden warned that Edwards' proclivity for following women into the ladies' toilets was 'becoming more frequent'. 'The chairman's fetish was a source of amusement to the players, but undeniably embarrassing...'

Perhaps he forgot about bursting in, because it is something he likes to do too.  Remember his famous player, Cantana, who attacked a fan at a Crystal Palace game and as a result got a criminal record.  On 26 January the Guardian revealed that at the end of the match "Sir" Alex, as he likes to be known, burst his way in to the referee's room while the ref was giving evidence to the police on the assault, and blamed the referee for Cantana's action.
