Sir Alex Ferguson: Final farewell was a party 26 years in the making

The man who made Manchester United's impossible dream possible at times resembled the statue erected in his honour near the Old Trafford stand named after him.
Standing away from the crowd, looking proudly in the direction of his Premier League champions with his hands in his pockets, the familiar dark overcoat worn against the Mancunian rain and black fleece zipped up, Sir Alex Ferguson was true to himself to the end.
This was not simply the end of an Old Trafford era. This was the end of an era in British sport.
