Nobel winner: I get nervous when Fergie talks football
Scottish Daily Express
|August 01, 2025
NOBEL-PRIZE winning scientist Professor Sir David MacMillan has revealed he gets nervous when his friend Sir Alex Ferguson asks for his opinion on football.
The US-based Scot told how the football legend got in touch with him after he was awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 2021 for his ground breaking work on the development of catalysts.
The pair spoke on the phone and later met up for dinner when Professor MacMillan returned home to the UK for a visit.
The Princeton University academic, a big Rangers supporter, said the 83-year-old former Manchester United manager regularly messages him when watching matches.
He said he didn’t know what to reply to “the greatest manager in the history of football” when Ferguson asked him how he thought former Ibrox defender Leon Balogun was playing in a match.
