English football changed forever on November 6, 1986 when Alex Ferguson - not a sir back then - became the new manager of Manchester United.
The Scot - who'd made himself one of the most coveted coaches in Britain thanks to his sterling work at Aberdeen, which included a remarkable European Cup Winners' Cup victory over none other than Real Madrid - decided that Old Trafford was the right place to make an even bigger mark on the game after months of speculation surrounding a long-awaited move south of the border.
It's well-documented that Ferguson endured a tricky start to his tenure. Narrowly avoiding the sack during his first four strenuous seasons, the Red Devils only truly began their resurgence following a famous 1990 FA Cup win.
