Photos: New portrait of Sir Alex Ferguson has the names of all the 218 players he managed

Few statues were erected last year, an Old trafford road was also named in his honour. We all know why everyone adores SAF. A new portrait of revered ex-Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson has the names of all the 218 players he managed during his 26-year reign.
Created by Annemarie Wright, the statue which will sell for £3,500 has the names of the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, RVP, Rooney as well as others. The artist, a 34-year-old fine arts graduate who’s not really a fan of football said Fergie’s huge in influence in football inspired her to create the unique piece of art.
“My dad has been a fan since the 1950s. He is not from Manchester but has followed the team since the Munich Air disaster. I bought him the Alex Ferguson autobiography for Christmas and I started thinking about the huge impact he has had on British culture. His face is so well known.”
