Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson has paid a moving tribute to long-time friend Craig Brown, the last man to lead Scotland to a World Cup, following his passing on Monday.
The 82-year-old led his country to the France 1998 finals having also guided them to Euro 96. Sir Alex invited Brown to join his coaching staff when in temporary charge of Scotland for the Mexico 1986 World Cup after the shock passing of former boss Jock Stein.
Following the finals in Mexico, Brown - who had known Sir Alex since their Scotland School Team days in 1957, stayed on as assistant to new manager Andy Roxburgh before succeeding him himself in December 1993.
