Ferguson vs. Speed: how failure at World Cup 1986 fueled hostility in English football.

Relations with Ferguson

According to The Sun: Former Chelsea player David Speedy shared his experiences about wanting to get back at Sir Alex Ferguson after he ignored him in the context of the 1986 World Cup. The Scot published an autobiography where he talks about his football days and relationships with coaches.

Sins of the Past

Speedy recalls that he still harbors resentments, particularly towards his former mentors Graeme Souness and Ferguson.

“I will always remember how I was sidelined. It left a mark on my heart,” he admitted.

Speedy emphasizes that these emotions are still relevant in his life, despite the fact that a lot of time has passed. His autobiography raises interest as it allows a glimpse behind the scenes of the football world and reveals the inner struggles of players that are not always made public.
