Cathy Ferguson, the wife of former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, has sadly passed away at the age of 84, as reported by Mirror.
In a statement issued by the Ferguson family, they confirmed her passing and mentioned that she is survived by her husband, three sons, two sisters, 12 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
The family has requested privacy during this difficult time.
Lady Cathy, previously known as Cathy Holding, first met Alex in 1964, and they tied the knot in 1966.
They welcomed their first son, Mark, two years later, followed by twins, Darren and Jason, in 1972.
Throughout Sir Alex’s illustrious career at Old Trafford, Lady Cathy was a constant source of support until his retirement from football in 2013, allowing them to spend more time together.
Manchester United also expressed their condolences in a statement, acknowledging Lady Cathy as a beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and great-grandmother who had been a pillar of strength for Sir Alex throughout his career.
During his remarkable 26-year tenure with the club, Sir Alex Ferguson achieved incredible success, securing 38 trophies, including 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups, and two UEFA Champions League titles.
