Drunk Utd fan calls 999 to speak to Alex Ferguson after defeat
- Updated: January 23, 2014
Heartbreaking defeats can drive all football fans to the point of despair. But one drunk Manchester United fan took his angst to a new level following his team’s League Cup defeat against Sunderland- by calling 999 ”demanding” to speak to Sir Alex Ferguson.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) have asked the public to “remember that 999 is to be used for emergencies only”.
GMP said it “can be sad and depressing” when a football team loses a game but asked the public to “remember that 999 is to be used for emergencies only”.
The force suggested contacting the club to speak to the former manager.
On GMP North Manchester’s Facebook page, the force said: “A man from the Crumpsall area of North Manchester rang 999 in a drunken state demanding to speak to Sir Alex Ferguson about last night’s result.
“Obviously, it can be a sad and depressing moment when your football team loses a game, however, can we all please remember that 999 is to be used for emergencies only.
“For any other police-related enquiries that are not an emergency, you can ring 101.”
“If you would like to speak to Sir Alex about recent football results we here at GMP Manchester North can only suggest you try ringing Manchester United FC directly as you will probably (not definitely) have a much better chance of getting through to him there rather than ringing the police,” the statement added.
