Ferguson to receive medal for winning the 1983 Cup Winners’ Cup against Real!

It may be a full 40 years since the 1983 Cup Winners’ Cup was won by Aberdeen, but the Sir Alex Ferguson he had not received the winner’s medal!

Specifically, the Scottish team prevailed 2-1 Real Madrid in the final and reached a huge success. However, not everyone was honored as they should have been and one of them was her coach. And that’s because only the starting eleven and the five substitutes received their medals normally that night in Gothenburg, since that was what the UEFA regulations.

The European confederation, however, decided to award six more medals, with the former Manchester United and world football glory among the recipients, adding to his collection even further.

“It is a great honor to receive this medal and I am grateful to everyone who has worked so hard to make this happen. Their efforts, along with UEFA’s cooperation, are greatly appreciated. It’s also fantastic to see some of the wonderful people who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes during this hugely successful period for the club now being celebrated.” were Ferguson’s words.
