In a somber moment for the football world, Lady Cathy Ferguson, the beloved wife of former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, has passed away. Their love story began in 1964 when a young Sir Alex, just 23 at the time, crossed paths with Lady Cathy. Two years later, they became husband and wife, forming a bond that would endure for nearly six decades.
Together, they raised a family of three sons: Mark, born in 1968, and twin boys, Darren and Jason, born in 1972. The Ferguson family confirmed this heartbreaking news in a statement, expressing their deep sorrow and asking for privacy during this difficult time.
Sir Alex Ferguson, a legendary figure in football, retired in 2013, and it was Lady Cathy who had been the unwavering support behind his illustrious career. Her presence provided him with both stability and encouragement, and he once said, “Words are not enough to express what this has meant to me.”
Everyone at Manchester United sends our heartfelt condolences to Sir Alex Ferguson and his family on the passing of Lady Cathy.
Lady Cathy was a beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother and great-grandmother, and a tower of strength for Sir Alex throughout his career.
