Sir Alex Ferguson's son recalls the terrifying moment he dialled 999 after the legendary boss suffered a brain haemorrhage… and how the Scot astounded doctors by sitting up and talking despite being so seriously ill

Sir Alex Ferguson's son Jason has candidly described the harrowing process of calling 999 when his dad collapsed after suffering a brain haemorrhage in 2018.

Jason directed the upcoming documentary Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In, which begins with a recording of the Manchester United legend's son calling emergency services on Saturday May 5, 2018.

The film reveals that Ferguson feared memory-related consequences of his collapse, inspiring the documentary's making, and Jason has opened up on the emotional toll of finding out how serious a condition his father, now 79, was in.
