In a recent interview, Ferguson reflected on Manchester United’s last win in the First Division in 1961, highlighting the challenge of competing with powerhouse teams like Liverpool and Manchester City in the present day. Chapman interjected by suggesting that Tottenham Hotspur were more likely to win the league than United, provoking a dismissive response from Ferguson. This exchange led to the premature end of the interview.
Ferguson’s historical impact on Spurs dates back over two decades to a memorable comeback win at White Hart Lane in 2001, during which he uttered the now-notorious phrase “Lads, it’s Spurs” as his team trailed 3-0 at halftime.
