One day Alice came in to berate me about something or other - I forget what - and by the by she told me she had stopped going to matches.
Why? She was in her 90s. Her eyesight was failing.

Saat Jeremy menanyai alasannya, dengan sedih Alice menjawab masalah pada pandangan membuat dirinya tak bisa lagi menikmati pertandingan. Kala itu Alice telah berusia 90an tahun.
Ferguson yang mendengar kabar tersebut lagi-lagi melakukan aksi sarat nilai kemanusian.
She was too old for corrective surgery on the NHS, she said. And then she told me Alex Ferguson had offered to pay for her to have the operation.

Pria asal Skotlandia itu menawari Alice untuk berobat sekaligus menanggung semua biayanya.
Akan tetapi Alice menolak karena dirinya sudah renta dan tak sanggup lagi beranjak jauh dari rumah.
I think that was the last time I saw Alice. She'll be long gone now.
Had she lived to know what Twitter was, she probably wouldn't want me writing about it on here either. But she would have been worried sick about Alex Ferguson. So I thought I'd write this anyway.

Kini, Jeremy mengatakan bahwa Alice telah tiada. Namun kisahnya dengan Ferguson dan Manchester United akan terus dikenang.
