Manchester United legend Ferguson recently let go of his wife of more than 50 years. Ferguson's wife, Kathy Ferguson, closed her eyes on the 5th at the age of 84.
Ferguson, now 81, first met Cathy in 1964 while playing as an active soccer player, and married Ferguson in 1966 when he was 25. During their 57-year marriage, the two had three sons, two daughters, 12 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Ferguson did not hide his love for his wife, saying in his autobiography, I have had the good fortune to meet the wonderful girl who has been my rock for nearly 50 years.
Manchester United and fans paid tribute to Ferguson at the news of his beloved wife's death. Manchester United's men's team wore a black armband in the eighth round of the 2023/24 Premier League against Brentford at Old Trafford, their home stadium, on the 7th, and the flag was raised in memory of Old Trafford.
A little time after Kathy Ferguson's death, her funeral was held at St Andrew's Cathedral in Scotland on the 17th. Former pupils who played under Ferguson in the past arrived in Glasgow, Scotland, to console him and pay their respects.
Numerous Manchester United legends, including David Beckham, who was a world-class soccer star beyond Manchester United and England, as well as Darren Fletcher, Gary Neville, Nicky Burt and Michael Carrick, gathered at the funeral.
Liverpool legend and former Liverpool head coach Kenny Dalglish, who is currently in charge of Celtic but once led Liverpool, also attended the funeral to console Ferguson, who was heartbroken by his wife's departure from their rivalry.
In addition, Ferguson's favorite and Korean soccer legend Park Ji-sung also flew to England to share his teacher's way to leave his wife.
Park Ji-sung, who was a star of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, later moved to PSV Eindhoven and played well, joining Manchester United, one of the world's best clubs, at Ferguson's call in the summer of 2005. After joining United, he contributed to the club's heyday by winning 11 trophies in the seven years leading up to 2012.
Park Ji-sung, who was fully trusted by Ferguson at the time, became the first Asian player to win the UEFA Champions League in 2008, the War of Stars, while playing as Manchester United's Unsung Hero.
In particular, Park Ji-sung's torment of Milan's key midfielder and pass master Andrea Pirlo throughout the game at Ferguson's instruction in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 in the 2009/10 season against AC Milan is still talked about as one of the best games ever. Pirlo later said in an interview, The most technically outstanding fellow player was Ronaldinho. And the best opponent was Lionel Messi. However, Park Ji-sung was the most annoying player to deal with.
Park Ji-sung's performance has made many soccer fans interested in the Premier League in Korea, and Manchester United has a big fandom in Korea. Numerous Korean soccer stars, including Tottenham Hotspur captain and South Korean national soccer team ace Son Heung-min, have dreamed of advancing overseas after seeing Park Ji-sung's performance.
Park Ji-sung, who played in Europe for a long time, announced his retirement from active duty in 2014 at the age of 33. Manchester United later recognized Park Ji-sung's contribution by appointing him as the seventh and first non-European club Ambassador. As time has passed, Park Ji-sung has joined Jeonbuk Hyundai in the K League 1 by taking the position of advisor in 2021, and has been serving as Jeonbuk Technical Director since 2022.
