Alex Ferguson's Stretford End Banner
The Impossible Dream, Made Possible
The 72-metre long banner, which cost £3,600 to make and was funded by donations from United fans, covers the full width of Old Trafford's Stretford End.
The banner depicts Ferguson and the 37 major trophies he has won during his remarkable quarter of a century reign at Manchester United.
It continues a long tradition of celebratory banners to be unveiled at Old Trafford by the Stretford End flags group, including tributes to the victims of the 1958 Munich air disaster, and several famous dedications to playing heroes such as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ryan Giggs and George Best.
