Sir Alex Ferguson’s last chewed gum sold for $640,000

image

Well come on, who didn’t see this coming?

Someone at The Hawthorns on Sunday supposedly recovered Sir Alex Ferguson’s last ever piece of gum chewed as Manchester United manager. Of course, it quickly found its way onto ebay, where the gum sold overnight for nearly $640,000. 

We’re a little disturbed by how many people fought over this piece of dry, yet saliva-infused, memorabilia, nor can we even be sure of its authenticity. But apparently all proceeds go to charity, so that’s nice.

The listing read as follows:

Used chewing gum: RARE. Recovered from The Hawthorns. Clear perspex/wooden case.

Unofficial merchandise, rumoured to belong to Sir Alex.

After 1,500 games of intense chewing as manager of Man Utd, here lies Fegie’s last piece of chewing gum.

All proceeds go to the MU Foundation charity.

Famous Nando’s restaurants to stay open an extra 5 minutes in honor of Sir Alex Ferguson

Chicken, bloody hell.

“Fergie Time” is a well-known concept in the soccer world, and when the Manchester United legend announced his retirement on Tuesday, tributes came rushing in from across the globe.

To honor Ferguson’s 26-year reign at United, Nando’s, a restaurant chain known for its succulent chicken, will stay open in nine Manchester locations for an additional five minutes, and be dubbed “Nando’s Fergie Time.”

From Nando’s website:

So, after 26 years in charge, Sir Alex Ferguson is finally calling it a day at Manchester United. Now he can spend time enjoying the finer things in life – golf, extended holidays, and helpings of PERi-PERi chicken.

And what better way to celebrate the legend that is Sir Alex, by keeping our Manchester restaurants open for an extra five minutes this evening. We’re calling it #NandosFergieTime.

We’re wondering if the man himself will spot by for a quick bite.

Sir Alex Ferguson is retiring. Who will replace him?

image

After Sir Alex Ferguson officially announced his retirement at the end of the season, everyone, depending on if you are a United fan or not, was thinking one of two things:

Non-United fans: “FINALLY!! WE HAVE A CHANCE NOW!”

United fans: “Who on God’s green earth is going to replace the legend?!”

A hologram of Sir Alex would probably be United fans’ top choice, but since that is kind of tricky to pull off, check out our top candidates to take over at Manchester United.

Sir Alex may be the worst Charades player of all time

This is a gem: Sir Alex and some Manchester United players took part in a good old fashioned game of charades for the MUTV channel, and Fergie seemed to get pretty frustrated with his teammates.

Being tasked with acting out Maradona’s “Hand of God” goal, Ferguson’s flailing hand gestures stumped his teammates far longer than it should have, prompting the legend manager to drop an F-bomb out of frustration! Much to the enjoyment of Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney on the opposing team.
