Sir Alex Ferguson once again highlighted the importance of his wife, Cathy.

Recently, the legendary football manager’s health has continued to decline, but he attends Manchester United matches whenever he can.

The Manchester club legend spoke about the brain surgery he survived with the help of his wife.

"I survived because my wife, Cathy, was always by my side.

If Cathy had not been by my side, the referee in the sky might have blown the final whistle for me,” Alex Ferguson told The Times.
