R.I.P Lady Cathy

[Medw1311]

Sad to hear that Sir Alex's wife Cathy has passed at the age of 84.

Maybe explains why Fergie didn’t appear at the #Gothenburg40 celebrations, nor has he been seen at any ManU games this season. 

57 years married, wow. Sympathies with the Ferguson family.

She was a lovely, down to Earth person. She loved Aberdeen, people used to say hello to her in supermarkets back in the 1980s. She was very reluctant to leave Aberdeen for Manchester, not knowing what that would bring and it was four tough years for Alex before success. She was his rock in the tumultuous years of late-80s English football and it all got crazier in the Premiership era, Champions League era. There were scandals, bust-ups and glories, but Alex always had a great family life and at the centre of that was Cathy.

RIP to Cathy

She loved Aberdeen and didn’t want to leave 

Loathed to seem to appear to point score over this because that’s not what’s it’s intended to be but it’s a brass neck of Sevco posting condolences after the way the previous incarceration treated her

Yeah, recall that they both said that in the fairly recent documentary about his life.

57 years together is incredible stuff for anyone these days, but especially for the rich and famous - almost unheard of, and a credit to both of them.

100% agree. Absolutely no self awareness!

No former Aberdeen stalwarts there? Maybe not Jim Leighton right enough.

Willie Miller, Strachan, Mcleish and Gunn I know were there.

Also Steve Archibald. Read quite a long tribute by Willie Miller about her today.

Brendan Rodgers got the 'former Leicester manager' treatment on that article to be fair too 🤣
