Albion on Sunday.

The retiring Old Trafford boss, who won 38

trophies during his 26-year reign, will be

succeeded by Everton manager David Moyes.

"So my last game, 1,500 matches - quite

incredible," said Ferguson

"I want to win this one more than last

week's even."

Ferguson, 71, received a huge ovation in his

final home game in charge against Swansea on

Sunday, before thousands lined thestreets for Monday's Premier Leaguechampions parade.

"Sunday was amazing and the parade

on Monday, it was incredible, even

better than 1999." he said.

"I thought the scenes after the treble

in 1999 couldn't be beaten but I think

Monday probably did."

"I went home that night and got 10

hours sleep, the first time in my life.

It was marvelous, really good."Ferguson, who will stay on at OldTrafford as a director and

ambassador, has asked United's

fans to support Moyes when he takesover as manager this summer.

tradition is supposed to be good luck for the impendingmarriage, and it is also a good way to entertain guests.

embraced even in this day and age.
