3. Alex Ferguson vs The BBC
In 2004 the Beeb looked into the controversy surrounding football agents and the bungs they reportedly receive during transfer dealings. The documentary targeted Ferguson’s son, Jason, and since then the former United boss cut off all ties with the BBC despite regular fines.
Match Of The Day couldn’t get near him, Football Focus daren’t ask him to comment, “They [the BBC] did a story about my son that was whole lot of nonsense,” Fergie said, but in the end it was all smiles as he dropped the ban recently, just in time for his retirement.
