Thank You Sir Alex

Alex Ferguson's last home match in charge of Manchester United ended in a 2-1 Premier League victory over Swansea City as the Old Trafford crowd gave their long-serving manager a warm and emotional send-off on Sunday. "Everyone at the club and you the fans have been the most fantastic experience of my life," a clearly emotional Ferguson told the crowd. "Thank you. I have been very fortunate to manage some of the greatest players in the country. These players have won the championship in fantastic fashion. Well done to them. When we had bad times here, everyone stood by me and your job now is to stand by your new manager (David Moyes)," he said:Reuters Images from his last match:
