"The manager's determination to be the best is constantly on show.
"When we're away watching Weakest Link in our hotel he wants to win.
"To be fair he's pretty knowledgeable about most things and always seems to know who sang what and what year a certain song was released."
O'Pie says that Ferguson has not lost any enthusiasm:
"Spending that long at any club is a great achievement.
"When he first arrived he was determined to bring success to the club and the players still see that in every team talk and every training session.
"When he finally decides to call it a day the state and good health he'll leave the club in will be unbelievable.
"He is a one-off and he will rightly go down as the greatest manager ever.
"He has been like a father figure to a lot of us and I owe him so much.
"When I first arrived I was in awe of him. But he can always tell when people are nervous and he has this charisma about him that relaxes people."
