Man United icon Sir Alex Ferguson opens up on dementia worries and late wife Cathy

Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has opened up about his fears of developing dementia and shared fond memories of his late wife, Cathy. The 84-year-old explained that his concerns stem from frequently heading heavy leather footballs during his 17-year playing career in Scotland. Ferguson revealed that his brother Martin is currently living with the condition, which influenced his decision to purchase a home in Glasgow to stay close to family.

Ferguson also paid tribute to Cathy, reflecting on their 59-year marriage and her steadfast support throughout his managerial career. To maintain his mental sharpness, the legendary manager reads frequently and completes online quizzes. He also recalled his recovery from a life-threatening brain hemorrhage suffered in 2018 while discussing his upcoming book, 'Games of My Life.'
