Sir Alex Ferguson in coma after suffering brain haemorrhage

SIR Alex Ferguson is recovering after undergoing emergency surgery for a life-threatening brain haemorrhage.

The 76-year-old former Manchester United boss was said to be in an “extremely serious” condition after being rushed to hospital following a seizure at his home.

It is understood Fergie complained of feeling unwell at his home in Wilmslow, Gtr Manche­ster, on Thursday before an ambulance was called at 9am yesterday.

He was then transferred under police escort to Salford Royal Hospital.

Wife Cathy, who he wed in 1966, and his sons Mark, Darren and Jason were thought to be at his hospital bedside after he was put into an induced coma.

A Manchester United statement said:  "Sir Alex has undergone emergency surgery today for a brain haemorrhage. The procedure has gone very well but he needs a period of intensive care to optimise his recovery. His family request privacy."


“He was due to have an operation of some kind and his prognosis will be clearer after that.”

Doncaster Rovers manager Darren, 46, yesterday missed his team’s League One game with Wigan, citing “family reasons”.

The source added: “It would have to be extremely serious for Darren to miss a game.

“He and his family are in pieces, especially Cathy. People in football are devastated and just hoping for the best outcome. It’s all happened so suddenly and taken everyone by surprise.

“It is particularly shocking as he seemed in such great health and sprightly and full of vigour.”

Last night United said in a statement: “Sir Alex Ferguson has undergone emergency surgery for a brain haemorrhage. The procedure has gone very well but he needs a period of intensive care to optimise his recovery.”
