David Lammy, MP for Tottenham, told The Spurs Show podcast in February: “I’m going to let you into a secret. About six weeks ago, I sat next to Sir Alex Ferguson at a dinner in support of grassroots football abroad.“He said to me ‘I think you guys have got the best manager in the Premier League.’”</blockquote>
