Ferguson tribute to Celtic great Fallon at funeral

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson paid tribute to former Celtic and Republic of Ireland player Sean Fallon at his funeral yesterday.

Sligo-born Fallon died at the age of 90 last week, leaving a legacy which included his time as assistant manager to Jock Stein when the club became the first British team to lift the European Cup in 1967.

Hundreds of mourners attended his funeral service in Glasgow, including Ferguson and famous Celtic faces such as current manager Neil Lennon and a number of current and former players.
