Legendary former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson had 80% of death following a brain hemorrhage which left him unable to speak.
In his documentary titled “Never Give In“, Ferguson, 79, broke down the moments leading up to his first collapse where he said he “just fell down”.
“I remember falling and so after that I don’t remember a thing.
“It was sudden. It stopped. It just stopped. It was no man’s land.” He said.
Fergie further revealed in a virtual Q and A with fans on Saturday that he was left unable to speak.
“I lost my voice, just could not get a word out, and that was terrifying – absolutely terrifying.
“And everything was going through my mind: is my memory going to come back? Am I ever going to speak again?”
He however made a remarkable recovery and is even able to attend football matches, despite the fact that it is against doctor’s orders.
Fergie is considered one of the greatest managers of all time, having won 13 Premier League titles with Manchester United in his 26 years at Old Trafford.
The documentary “Never Give In” was directed by his son Jason and filmed when he was recovering from the operation.
To get him back to his former self after the operation, Fergie had to endure speech therapy and worked through exercises where he had to recall every member of his team.
His voice eventually came back after 10 days.
