Sir Alex Ferguson is the greatest manager that English football has ever seen, and arguably the world.
His longevity and ability to rebuild multiple winning sides is testament to his unparalleled career as manager of Manchester United.
Here’s 10 crazy Sir Alex stats, from his time as United boss:
1. His incredible Premier League Record

2. Premier League Consistency
After winning the maiden Premier League crown, Ferguson never finished outside the top 3. He finished 1st 13 times, 2nd 5 times, and 3rd 3 times.
3. Goals, Goals, Goals
During his time in charge, Sir Alex saw his team score more goals (1,627) than any other manager in Premier League history.
4. His Premier League Win Rate
Ferguson won 528 Premier League games out of 810 played, giving him an EPL win rate of 65.19%

9. Comeback King
Sir Alex’s United side registered 71 Premier League victories after conceding the first goal.
10. Old Trafford The Fortress
Sir Alex never lost a Premier League game at Old Trafford when his side were leading at half-time.
Some unbelievable stats here, he’s simply the greatest manager English football has ever seen. The longevity and ability to keep winning while rebuilding sides can’t be beaten.
They don’t make managers like Fergie anymore. Imagine surviving 26 years in one club these days!
The stat about his last game finishing 5-5 is funny, all those games managed and that was his first 5-5 draw.
Old Trafford The Fortress’ hits different. There was something magical about the atmosphere at Old Trafford under Fergie, especially during big matches. Brings back some proper good memories, that does.
Fergie Time’ stats missing! How many points did United win in the last 5 minutes of games?! Would love to know.
‘goals, goals, goals’ sums it up, he didn’t just make us winners, it was entertaining football. Wish we could play like that now. He’s the greatest manager ever.
It’s not just the trophies—it’s the comebacks, the mind games, and the way he rebuilt the squad over decades. Unreal.
Greatest manager of all time, no debate. Who else comes close? Guardiola hasn’t done it for the likes of Aberdeen or the mid-table United team that Sir Alex took over!
Agreed, plus all those charges on City take a bit away from Pep’s achievements.
Some cool stats here, thanks for sharing. Fergie gave us more memories than any fan could ever hope for. Absolute legend. Thank you, Sir Alex.
Miss Sir Alex, what a manager.
