BREAKING: Sir Alex Ferguson is in a serious condition in hospital and will have surgery later tonight.
Brain haemorrhage, ie a bleed rather than a clot stroke, same as what my Dad died from. At the same age. Good luck Sir Alex.
bloody hell I just heard about the brain hemorrhage. I wonder if that is connected to a stroke? thoughts and prayers with him. I always respected Fergie. Top bloke.
There are many types of bleeds some more recoverable than others. I had bleeding between the brain and skull some years ago after a motor bike accident but thanks to the doctors and nurses at St. Barts I managed to pull through relatively unscathed, apart from memory problems.
Depends if it was a Sub Dural or Sub Arachnoid bleed.... Looking at his age I’m guessing it would be the latter unless he had a fall
I saw this as breaking news just before I went out this evening. I hope he can recover from this. Sir Alex Ferguson always seemed like one of those footballing legends that would continue forever. I watched the Man U v Arsenal game last Sunday and Fergie presented Wenger with a boxed trophy before kick off to commemorate his time at Arsenal. Which I thought was a nice touch, despite their rivalry down the years.
That’s what my dad had and eventually died from. Devastating news, let’s hope it’s a minor bleed and he’s ok.
Him and Wenger are the last of their kind. Everyone I know respects him, no matter how much we don't like Man U. Let's hope he gets through this...
Good luck SAF ... at least we all know you’re not a quitter, but a fighter, and will give it your best.
Sorry durbar, I didn't realise what you were getting at. I thought it was a mistake. Unfortunately I can't reinstate the post. For anyone wondering what's going on, durbar duplicated his post ( #8 ) word for word.
