Sir Alex Should be Lord...??!!!

Lord Sir Alex Ferguson..??!!

United manager Alex Ferguson should be made the first football lord, says a Manchester MP.

Graham Stringer, MP for Blackley and Broughton, said it was ‘ludicrous’ there were no ex-footballers or managers in the House of Lords.

And he claimed lifelong Labour supporter Sir Alex was the perfect candidate.

Mr Stringer – a United fan – claims the upper chamber has become stuffed with actors, novelists and other highbrow celebrities, while ignoring stars of the people’s game.

He said: "It wasn’t until the late 1960s that Matt Busby and Alf Ramsey became the first football knights. It is now time for a football Lord.

"There has been no more successful manager at the top level than Sir Alex Ferguson.

"He should be the first football Lord. It would recognise his achievements and the national importance of football. And it would be the first good reason not to abolish the place.

"Why are actors and novelists more appropriate for the House of Lords than footballers?"

A United spokesman said: "It sounds like an interesting idea – woe betide anyone who falls asleep during a parliamentary session."

Sir Alex, who grew up in a Glasgow tenement the son of a shipbuilder, has always expressed a strong interest in politics.(continues)
