To Ally McCoist, Sir Alex Ferguson isn't the greatest manager of all time. Surprising, considering both are proud Scotsmen who even spent time together at St Mirren. 

At least, it's surprising until you learn that Sir Alex Ferguson chose not to give McCoist a professional contract when the young striker was still making his way in the game. McCoist gripe with the legendary Manchester United manager becomes even clearer when realising that he opted against taking McCoist to Mexico for the 1986 World Cup.
