Sir Alex Ferguson's wife Cathy has died 57 years after marrying the former Manchester United manager. Ferguson retired from football in 2013 to spend more time by her side. She is survived by Ferguson and three sons.
The Ferguson family issued a statement today which read: “We are deeply saddened to confirm the passing Thursday of Lady Cathy Ferguson, survived by her husband, three sons, two sisters, 12 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. The family asks for privacy at this time.”
Lady Cathy - formerly Holding - met Alex in 1964 and they were married in 1966 before giving birth to son Mark two years later, followed by twins, Darren and Jason, in 1972. She was incredibly supportive of her husband throughout his career at Old Trafford before he stepped down from his role and retired from football in 2013 to spend more time with her.
In fact, were it not for Cathy's intervention, Ferguson might well have ended up at one of United's rivals in north London when he was approached by Tottenham.
"The directors, to a man, were enthusiastic endorsers of the choice (Ferguson). All aspects of the contract agreed," a book about Spurs, titled Still Dreaming, previously claimed.
"Unfortunately, Mrs Ferguson was not keen on a move to London and that was that."
