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.

Tottenham stunned Manchester United in Fergie time with a late goal from, who else, Red Devils killer Clint Dempsey!

Spurs made the title race just a little more interesting after Demps scored his 4th goal of 2013 (after just 3 in 2012 with Tottenham) in the very last minute of stoppage time. Some will question David de Gea’s weak clearance here, but in the end, the tie was well deserved after Spurs dominated the second half.
