Sir Alex Ferguson: Aberdeen finalise details for statue and 'homecoming' match tribute next month
The bronze tribute, which will stand on the concourse outside the Richard Donald Stand, will be unveiled on Friday, February 25 – and Sir Alex will take to the field a day later, at the cinch Premiership game against Dundee United, as part of a ‘homecoming celebration’.
AFC commercial director, Rob Wicks, said: “This tribute to Sir Alex is going to be a truly unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience and I would urge all Dons fans, young and old, to come to the match and join what is undoubtedly going to be a very special occasion.”
