Ferguson's speech at their players award event:
"I don't know how you managed to stand up (for his
standing ovation) after yesterday - I've been
horizontal for the last 24 hours! Oh, what a day, Jesus
Christ! We don't deserve that. You supporters, how you
put up with that I don't know. These guys they did
their best, honestly, they were fantastic, well done
boys. They were brilliant, brilliant boys.
I read an article this morning - the Racing Post - the
only paper I read by the way! Says that we need 8 new
players, Jesus Christ! First of all where do you get 8
players, and why do I need 8 players? I have got a lot
of young players here who are evolving into the club,
of course I've got the old masters Giggs and Scholes
and Ferdinand and most importantly, and you know you're
not understand this, but I've got a fantastic staff.
Fantastic. The medical staff, the sports science who
bloody hell, they are bright boys, they talk stuff that
I have never heard of before and hope I never hear
again! They are beyond my intellect.
I'm a dinosaur, I'm an absolute dinosaur but what I am,
I'm a winner. And I want all these players and I said
it to them yesterday, when we lost the league to Leeds
United in 1992 the young players came out that day and
the Liverpool supporters were asking for their
autographs, Giggs, Scholes, Neville, Beckham, and they
were tearing them up, tearing their autographs up. And
I said to Giggs and the boys 'remember this day', and
exactly what I said to them yesterday - those
Sunderland fans were cheering for city, remember the
day. We won't forget that, I'm telling you. So well
done to the players, a fantastic group, they will be
alright, don't worry about them, a great bunch of lads,
brilliant, well done boys."
