I expected "Never Give In", the Alex Ferguson story to be not much better than a puff piece, cookie-cutter football doc. But the film is excellent. Stylistically it is very smartly done, and the story is obviously compelling for all football fans.
I knew he grew up poor and was a player before managing Aberdeen and catapulting to what he became, but did not know he was such a prominent player in Scottish football. I didn't know the details of his home life, or the eventual transfer he got to Rangers and the subsequent falling out he had there that he blamed on sectarianism. Didn't know how close he came to death, either.
I know it might be unpopular to admit it on here, but I've always liked and admired Ferguson, even though he could be a complete word removed at times. But he's an incredible figure in the history of the game, and his early successes at Man Utd were one of the things I found compelling about English football.
