Sir Alex Ferguson's legacy at former club Aberdeen will be cemented after the Scottish club announced plans to unveil a statue of the legendary manager.
It will capture Ferguson’s celebrations after Aberdeen sealed the Scottish title at Easter Road in 1980 — the first time a team other than Celtic and Rangers had won the league in 15 years.
Sir Alex, 79, plans to be present for the unveiling and has been pictured with the maquette for the statue, which is due to be unveiled in early 2022.
Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack said: ‘Both the club and Sir Alex are absolutely thrilled with the maquette and cannot wait to see the next steps in the creative process.
