SIR ALEX FERGUSON was honoured to have a library in Scotland renamed after him in a ceremony on Wednesday.
Glasgow Caledonian University made the gesture to the Manchester United legend and he donated a number of personal items to go on display.
The archive will include a worn football shirt, an early coaching notepad and a manager-of-the-year trophy.
Early childhood photographs, a Queens Park team photo from the 1958/59 season, Sir Alex’s A-licence coaching certificate from 1979 and a diary from 1993 – the season he won his first Premier League title with Manchester United will also be included.
Sir Alex said: “I’ve had a brilliant relationship with GCU over many years now, and it is an absolute honour that the University has chosen to name its library after me.
“The University was keen to give an insight into the person the Library has been named after and I hope that donating personal items from my life will help to do that.
“I thoroughly enjoy returning to the University and listening to students speak passionately about their experiences.
“I see great ambition and potential in many of our young people.”
MANCHESTER UNITED icon Gary Neville believes Granit Xhaka must apologise to the Arsenal fans as he also stated the Swiss midfielder never learns from his mistakes.
He told Sky Sports: “I struggle with Xhaka full stop, I'll be honest with you. I just think it's his ill-discipline in his performances generally over a period of the last two or three years.
“I've never watched a player who seems to learn less from his experiences than Xhaka.
“He makes what must be four hundred mistimed tackles a match. He essentially gets booked every time I watch him, I don't watch him every single game but every game I do watch he gets booked.
“He doesn't seem to set the tone for the rest of his team-mates with his performance levels. So, what happened on Sunday doesn't surprise me.”
Neville added: He does give his all, he's committed. There's no doubt about that. You can see someone there. But he's the least experienced experienced player I've ever watched. He's rash.
“I've got no problem with this idea of taking on your fans or a bit of tension. It's never great, it's not healthy. But actually, in football, that can happen.”

EXCLUSIVE by Joshua Jones: MANCHESTER UNITED sent scouts to watch Brescia's teenage midfielder Sandro Tonali again last week.
The Italian – dubbed the new Andrea Pirlo in his homeland for both his playing and hair styles – is catching the eye of a number of top-class European sides with his performances from midfield.
United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has received glowing reports and their Italian spies watched him play the full 90 minutes in last Monday's goalless draw with Fiorentina.
The Red Devils are in the market for creative young talent and there is a feeling Tonali could be one worth paying out big bucks for to steal a march on some of their rivals.
An Old Trafford source told SunSport: “We have known about Tonali for 18 months but our Italian scouts say he has gone to the next level and United need to get involved – he could be a generational talent.”

JAMIE CARRAGHER has taken a massive dig at Gary Neville by claiming “anyone” could have been successful under legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
Neville won eight Premier League titles, two Champions Leagues and three FA Cups during almost 20 years under the guidance of Sir Alex at Old Trafford.
Speaking about his Monday Night Football partner to Sky Sport's Off Script podcast, the Liverpool legend said: “I didn't like him, but I thought he was a winner.
“Obviously a top player, very lucky to play under Sir Alex Ferguson.
“But all these Manchester United people forget, they never won anything without Sir Alex Ferguson, anything, nothing with England, Valencia.
“Remember, Manchester United fell off a cliff when Sir Alex Ferguson left, how lucky were they to be with him?
“So when we talk about what they won and what they did, anyone could have done it.”
