So, where’s the scar from Sir Alex’s boot?

Scary: Manchester United boss Sir Alex
Despite claiming he has mellowed with age, Fergie, who famously kicked a boot in anger which cut David Beckham above the eye, admitted he can still scare the life out of his players – a warning to new boys Owen Hargreaves, Nani and Anderson.
“On a Saturday after a game, if you’ve not won or not played well, it’s important to get the message across because winning’s important at our club,” said Fergie.
“With the preparation we give the players every week, nobody ever gets criticised in training. Everything is positive, so, therefore, on Saturday you expect a result.
“With all the work we’ve put in as coaches, the preparation we put in, the time spent going through video analysis, all the physical preparation and all the medical care they’ve got, we expect a result.
“So, I always believe in telling them right after the game. I’m not interested in this ‘wait until Monday’ attitude. I remember an old manager of mine saying that, but I can’t do it. I’ve no time for Monday, I’m already thinking ahead.”
PS: Sorry for yet another gratuitous topless David Beckham image 😉
