Manchester United’s most successful coach Sir Alex Ferguson has lost his wife Cathy who died on Thursday aged 84
Sir Alex’s Ferguson’s wife Lady Cathy Ferguson has died aged 84 – as Manchester United legend hailed her as his ‘tower of strength’.
The Glaswegian mother-of-three and grandmother to 12 was described by her husband as his ‘bedrock’, who had helped nurse him back to health after his stroke following his retirement after 26 years at the club in 2013. They were married for almost 60 years.

The Ferguson family confirmed the news in a statement released on Friday, which read: “We are deeply saddened to confirm the passing yesterday of Lady Cathy Ferguson, survived by her husband, three sons, two sisters, 12 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.”
When he announced his retirement as United manager in 2013 after an unprecedented period of success for the Red Devils, Sir Alex said: “My wife Cathy has been the key figure throughout my career, providing a bedrock of both stability and encouragement. Words are not enough to express what this has meant to me.”
He has also described her as the only person in the world he does not answer back to – quite something for a man renowned for issuing terrifying ‘hairdryer treatments’ to footballers not pulling their weight.
Everyone at Manchester United sends our heartfelt condolences to Sir Alex Ferguson and his family on the passing of Lady Cathy.
Lady Cathy was a beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother and great-grandmother, and a tower of strength for Sir Alex throughout his career.

A United statement said: “Everyone at Manchester United sends our heartfelt condolences to Sir Alex Ferguson and his family on the passing of Lady Cathy. Lady Cathy was a beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother and great-grandmother, and a tower of strength for Sir Alex throughout his career.”
Flags have been lowered to half mask at Old Trafford. United will wear black armbands for their game against Brentford on Saturday, with the women’s team expected to have them on Friday when they play Arsenal.
Lady Cathy had been married to Sir Alex since 1966, with the couple having met while they were both working at a typewriter factory in Glasgow.
