Sir Alex Might be Going for Gold
By Nick | March 3rd, 2008Should there be a Great Britain football team at the 2012 Olympics (I seriously doubt it myself), then the man to guide them to gold could be Sir Alex. Cynically, I'm sure it won't hurt the plan's chances to have Fergie's considerable stature touted.
