Sir Alex Ferguson 'forgives' Jurgen Klopp for waking him up at 3.30am to tell him Liverpool had won Premier League

SIR ALEX FERGUSON says he forgives Jurgen Klopp for waking him up at 3.30am to tell him Liverpool had won the Premier League.

Manchester United legend Fergie, 78, paid a glowing tribute to Klopp after the Anfield boss won the Sir Alex Ferguson Trophy for the LMA Manager of the Year.

It was back when Ferguson took over at Old Trafford that he vowed to knock Liverpool "off their f***ing perch".

Well, 30 years later, Klopp's heroes got back on top, sealing the title by 18 points.

And it turns out the German was so desperate to let Fergie know about his achievement that he woke him up with a phone call.

Presenting the award tonight, Fergie said: "Jurgen, fantastic. I speak about Leeds United, 16 years in Championship.

"Liverpool, 30 years since winning that league. Incredible.

"You really thoroughly deserve it. The performance level of the team was outstanding.

"Your personality went right through the whole club. A marvellous performance.

"I'll forgive you for waking me up at half past 3 in the morning to tell you'd won the league! Thank you…

"But anyway, you've thoroughly deserved it. Well done."

Klopp in his reply recalled having breakfast with Fergie, where he said it was like "meeting the Pope".

The Liverpool gaffer said: "I'm absolutely delighted to get this wonderful trophy.

"Ferguson was the first British manager I met. We had breakfast a long time ago, I'm not sure he remembers it but I remember it.

"It was like meeting the Pope.

"It was great and from the first second we really clicked.

"I wouldn't have thought in that moment that one day I would hold the trophy in my hands which is named after him."

what is the most frightening thing that you have ever seen happen in life

It’s a man looking over his family during the British Raj in India. There were many cases of cannibalism and he feared someone would try to kill and eat his children or wife. I acknowledge this is a difficult picture to look at— but I included it for a reason. Many people in the US/West aren’t even aware of the terrible famines that swept through India and which are comparable to the holocaust in deaths (an estimated ~30 million people have died in famines in India). This was taken from the Great Famine of 1876–1878, which was far worse than the infamous Bengal Famine. It was caused by a crop failure/drought and was exacerbated by the crown’s export of wheat abroad. In total, 5.6 - 9 million people died (it’s hard to get exact figures). And within huge statistics like these, are forgotten stories. These are individuals and families, who slowly faced the despair of knowing they had no food and would have no food in the near future. They faced the horror of knowing there was ...
