He said: “I have been to Cheltenham Festival a few times. Sir Alex Ferguson was always keen on it, though, it was about the only time you’d see him outside his comfort zone and it was something he’d get excited for. “It’s no secret he loves the sport, he has a few horses himself, and it’s a sport close to his heart. You could tell because he always had his phone in his jacket, the phone would go off and he would go on it.”18+ New customers only.
