Eintracht Frankfurt grants lifelong membership to Sir Alex Ferguson

Eintracht Frankfurt has oddly granted Sir Alex Ferguson a lifelong membership.

A delegation from the Bundesliga team paid a visit to the venerable 82-year-old former Manchester United manager after they had traveled to Aberdeen to play the Scottish team in the Europa Conference League.

Additionally, a Frankfurt shirt bearing his name and the number 10 was given to him.

Ferguson’s connections to Frankfurt are shaky because of his time spent in Scotland as a manager and player.

In a preseason friendly against the German squad in 1967, he made his Rangers debut after leaving Dunfermline. The club triumphed 5-3, with him scoring a hat-trick.
