In a new video Sir Alex Ferguson reminisces about his experiences with Manchester United and David Beckham and praises the work they have done for UNICEF to help protect children that are vulnerable around the world. The interview was filmed following the Match for Children which took place with a galaxy of footballing stars at Old Trafford and raised valuable funds for UNICEF.
“Even back then, I could see how interested and affected David Beckham was by what he saw with Unicef,” said Sir Alex .”Now 15 years later, to see how David continues to support Unicef as an Ambassador and through his 7 Fund makes me very proud.”
Sir Alex made a triumphant return to Old Trafford alongside David Beckham and the rest of the Great Britain and Ireland XI for the Match for Children, beating the Rest of the World Team led by Luis Figo and Carlo Ancelotti 3-1. Earlier in the year Beckham launched the 7: The David Beckham UNICEF Fund and has committed to lending his influence, voice and connections to raise money and rally for lasting change for children. The Match For Children was the final leg of an incredible tour which saw Beckham play seven football matches across seven continents for a documentary that will be broadcast on the BBC this Christmas
