Ferguson's last autobiography 'Managing My Life' was released first in 1999 after United's treble win, and another updated edition was released at the end of the following season.
BRIAN KIDD AND GORDON STRACHAN
That book was noteworthy for its harsh attacks on his former assistant Brain Kidd, who had left United in late 1998 and suffered relegation with Blackburn Rovers, and Gordon Strachan, who he described as untrustworthy.
THE MURKY ANDREI KANCHELSKIS TRANSFER SAGA
One of the most sensational revelations in the book was Ferguson's dealings with the Russian agents of Andrei Kanchelskis. After a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest in late 1994, Ferguson was presented with a "gift" in the shape of a big box by Grigory Essaoulenko in the car park of Old Trafford. He assumed it was a "tea urn."
When he got home, he found that wads and wads of cash amounting to £40,000. Fergie feared that the an encounter may have been filmed and barely slept. The following morning, he informed the directors and the money was placed in the club safe. This incident occurred around the time George Graham was fired for receiving "bungs".
When Essaoulenko returned next year, it was prevailed upon him to take back the cash. Shortly after, the agent forced through Kanchelskis' move to Everton, issuing threats to anyone at Manchester United who stood in the way of the deal.
PERSUADING CANTONA
It revealed how Ferguson persuaded Cantona to return to Old Trafford after the Frenchman was set to leave for Inter Milan in the summer of 1995. Ferguson travelled to Paris where he met Cantona's friend and agent.
He hopped on the back of the man's motorbike, and the pair whizzed through the side streets and back alleys of the French capital before arriving at a deserted cafe where Cantona sat with another of his advisers. Ferguson talked Cantona into staying at Old Trafford and thereafter the pair spent most of the evening discussing their favourite footballers of the 70s and 80s.
HIS TIME AT RANGERS
It dwelt heavily on his time as a player with Rangers, where Ferguson claims he was a target of bigots within the club on account of both his mother and wife being Catholics. (His father intriguingly was born a Protestant but "had no religious faith to speak of and supported Jock Stein's Celtic).
When his biggest enemy within the club, the director Willie Alyson, told a young Fergie he had cancer, Ferguson wrote that "I know it's a terrible thing to say, but I didn't have a crumb of pity for him."
