Manchester United Sir Alex Ferguson reveals what's on his i-Pod and how to ... - MirrorFootball.co.uk

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson gave an insight into his musical tastes and how he likes wining up good friend Sam Allardyce.

In an interview on Monday night's BBC Radio 5 Live, the United boss reveals that turning 70 doesn't mean he has been left behind in the technology stakes, admitting he owns an i-Pod and opening up about his favourite artists.

'I have Spotify — it's fantastic, 15 million songs on it: Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, that kind of stuff.'

He also went on to disclose a trick he played on best mate Allardyce after one particular post-match meeting.

'Big Sam bought me a lovely bottle of wine when we were playing a few years back on my birthday,' he said.

'His kit manager brought it in the morning wrapped up in some paper, so I opened it and replaced it with a bottle of Ribena. We saw each other later and he said that's for you to open later but I said no, I'll open it now and drink it with you. When he opened the bottle he ran after the kit man, shouting. I thought he was going to kill him.'
