Ayahnya, Graziano Rossi adalah seorang pembalap besar dimasa ’70-an. Otomatis ia besar dilingkungan yang kental atmosfer balap. Ketika anak-anak seusianya asyik dengan mainannya, Rossi bermain dengan motor balap sungguhan di tengah paddock pembalap ternama Luca Cadalora ataupun Loris Reggiani.</p> <h2><span class="editsection">[<a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Valentino_Rossi&action=edit&section=2" title="Sunting bagian: Entertainer">sunting</a>]</span> <span class="mw-headline" id="Entertainer">Entertainer</span></h2> <p>Saat pertama bergabung di Gp 500cc bersama tim bekas Doohan, yang dikepalai oleh seorang mekanik handal Australia bernama <a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerremy_Burgess" title="Jerremy Burgess">Jerremy Burgess</a>, suasana paddock sangat terpengaruh perangai Doohan yang temperamental. Semua mekanik dan staff tim tampak serius dan cenderung penuh tekanan. Suasana ini buat Rossi sungguh tak masuk akal, menurutnya ia tak bisa membayangkan membalap tanpa merasa fun, kemudian waktu ia mulai menang, ia bertekad untuk merayakan besar-besaran, menurutnya ia cuma ingin melakukan sesuatu yang baru, menunjukkan emosi memenangkan balap.</p> <p>Sejak saat itulah, pesta kemenangan jadi ciri khasnya. Tak hanya bersama teman, juga ribuan pendukungnya yang memadati sirkuit. Dengan aksi-aksinya, Rossi bagaikan magnet yang menarik orang untuk menonton GP. Para pecinta GP tentu masih ingat akan aksinya memboncengkan fansnya yang berkostum ayam berkeliling sirkuit, aksinya memboncengkan fans yang berpakaian dokter, ia juga pernah membonceng angka satu raksasa sebagai simbol juara dunia, juga aksi wheelie dan burnout nya yang sudah tak terhitung setiap memperoleh kemenangan. Ia juga kerap memberikan kneepad atau topi nya kepada fansnya dengan melemparnya saat berada di podium. “Valentino itu petarung hebat. Tetapi ia juga tahu kalau kita berada ditengah bisnis hiburan. Jadi ia juga suka menghibur,” kata Burgess.</p> <h2><span class="editsection">[<a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Valentino_Rossi&action=edit&section=3" title="Sunting bagian: Julukan Rossi">sunting</a>]</span> <span class="mw-headline" id="Julukan_Rossi">Julukan Rossi</span></h2> <p>Dalam perjalanan balapnya rossi kerap berganti julukan dan melakukan hal-hal yang menarik perhatian dan menghibur. Ia beralasan bahwa semuanya itu dilakukan dimulai dengan niat bersenang-senang dan melakukan sesuatu yang lucu.</p> <p><b>Rossifumi</b> Julukan Rossi yang diciptakan oleh temannya saat Rossi membalap di kelas 125cc julukan ini tercipta karena Rossi kagum dengan pembalap Jepang yang khas dengan rambut panjangnya, <a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norick_Abe" title="Norick Abe">Norick Abe</a> yang saat itu berumur 17 tahun dan dengan gigih bertarung dengan Michael Doohan dan <a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Scwantz" title="Kevin Scwantz" class="mw-redirect">Kevin Scwantz</a> dikelas 500cc, karena nama asli pembalap Jepang itu Norifumi Abe maka Rossi dijuluki Rossifumi.Tahun 2004 Rossi dan Abe sama-sama membela Yamaha berada dalam beda tim namun satu grafis,yaitu dominasi warna biru.Rossi berada di tim Gauloises Fortuna Yamaha Team sedangkan Abe bernaung di Fortuna Gauloises Tech 3 Yamaha Team.</p> <p><b>Valentinik</b> Julukan ini berasal dari tokoh kartun Daffy Duck yang menjadi superhero yang di Italia bernama Paperinik. Julukan ini dipakainya pada saat membalap di kelas 250cc.</p> <p><b>The Doctor</b> Setelah naik ke kelas 500cc pada musim 2000 Rossi menjuluki dirinya dengan The Doctor karena membalap di kelas 500cc butuh keseriusan dan ia merasa dirinya bukan anak kecil lagi, selain itu ia juga menyukai ide sebagi illmuwan gila dan melakukan eksperimen edan, ia menganggap pantas memakai julukan itu setelah mendapatkan prestasi sebagai juara dunia.”Di balap 500cc kita tidak butuh superhero. Yang kita perlukan cuma tenang, kalem, dan pemikir seperti dokter,”ucapnya. Disamping itu, nama Valentino di Italia kebanyakan digunakan oleh para dokter. Ia juga mulai mengurangi perayaan kemenangan yang dianggapnya sudah tak pantas ia lakukan. “Cukup dengan melambai seperti pembalap lain, lalu malamnya pesta habis-habisan bareng sahabat-sahabat saya.”</p> <h2><span class="editsection">[<a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Valentino_Rossi&action=edit&section=4" title="Sunting bagian: Pindah ke Yamaha">sunting</a>]</span> <span class="mw-headline" id="Pindah_ke_Yamaha">Pindah ke Yamaha</span></h2> <p>pada akhir musim 2003 menjelang musim 2004 Valentino Rossi membuat keputusan yang mengejutkan. Ia memutuskan hijrah dari tim yang dibelanya waktu itu yaitu tim pabrikan Honda, Repsol Honda HRC yang telah mengantarkan dirinya meraih juara dunia 2002 dan 2003 serta membawa Doohan merebut juara dunia 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 juga <a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Criville" title="Alex Criville" class="mw-redirect">Alex Criville</a> menjadi juara dunia 1999. Rossi memutuskan meninggalkan tim super tersebut dan memilih bergabung bersama tim Yamaha, yang terakhir meraih juara dunia pada tahun 1992 melalui pembalap <a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wayne_Rainey&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Wayne Rainey (halaman belum tersedia)">Wayne Rainey</a>. Rossi tidak pindah ke tim Yamaha sendirian, ia juga membawa Jerremy Burgess, kepala mekaniknya yang dahulu juga menangani Doohan dan Criville.

Salah satu pernyataan pesimis datang dari Max Biaggi, musuh bebuyutannya mengatakan, “Aku tak menyangka ia pindah ke Yamaha, tapi bagaimanapun juga akan sulit mengalahkan Honda. Bahkan Rossi sendiri kurang optimis ia mampu mempertahankan juara dunianya. “Kami membutuhkan waktu untuk tampil kompetitif, untuk menang pada musim pertama bersama Yamaha jelas sangat sulit”. Tapi ia mementahkan semua pandangan pesimis tersebut. bahkan pada seri pertama musim 2004 di GP <a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Welkom&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Welkom (halaman belum tersedia)">Welkom</a>, Afrika Selatan ia mengalahkan Max Biaggi yang mengendari motor Honda, meskipun dengan perlawanan yang sangat ketat, dengan motor yamaha, yang terakhirnaik podium tahun 1992 !! bahkan pada tahun 2004 dan 2005 Rossi menjadi juara dunia bersama Yamaha! dan menjadi pembalap yamaha pertama yang paling banyak juara dalam satu musim (rossi juara 9 kali pada musim 2005)</p> <h2><span class="editsection">[<a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Valentino_Rossi&action=edit&section=5" title="Sunting bagian: Orang lain tentang Rossi">sunting</a>]</span> <span class="mw-headline" id="Orang_lain_tentang_Rossi">Orang lain tentang Rossi</span></h2> <p>Mick Doohan: “Dia melakukannya (membalap) jauh lebih serius daripada saya.”</p> <p><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Biaggi" title="Max Biaggi">Max Biaggi</a>: “Bagaimana mungkin tahun pertama dia hanya finish sembilan kali dan tiba-tiba bisa mendominasi seperti itu ?.

Wallace also studied with the great trumpeter <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_Davis" title="Miles Davis">Miles Davis</a> from 1985 until Miles' death in 1991. Wallace credits Miles as helping to challenge and shape his creative approach to life as well as being his music instructor, mentor and friend. Wallace Roney holds the distinction of being the only trumpet player Davis ever personally mentored.</p> <p>When he entered the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Duke_Ellington_High_School_for_the_Performing_Arts&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Duke Ellington High School for the Performing Arts (page does not exist)">Duke Ellington High School for the Performing Arts</a>, Wallace Roney had already made his recording debut at age 14, and had attained distinction as a gifted local performer in the Washington, D.C area. In 1979 and again in 1980, Wallace Roney won the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_Beat" title="Down Beat">Down Beat</a> Award for Best Young Jazz Musician of the Year. In 1989, and again in 1990, Wallace won Down Beat Magazine's Critic's Poll for Best Trumpeter to Watch.</p> <p>With all of his skills and early accomplishments, Roney also spent years scrounging for work. Early in his career in the '80s, he was at one point homeless, he lived frugally, sleeping on the floors of friends' apartments and generally "wearing out my welcome," he recalled to Washingtonian Post writer James McBride. In 1983 his future began to look brighter—at least temporarily. While taking part in a tribute to Miles Davis at the Bottom Line in Manhattan, he actually got to meet his idol. "He [Davis] asked me what kind of trumpet I had," Roney told Time Magazine, "and I told him none. So he gave me one of his." Throughout two dismal years in '84 and '85 he was forced to play in Latin dance and reception bands. The New York clubs, once a prominent part of the jazz scene, had mostly disappeared. The skies began to clear in 1986 when Roney received two calls—within one month—to tour with two jazz legends: drummers Tony Williams and Art Blakey. The rest is history. Roney has been one of the most in-demand trumpet players on record, movie and commercial recording sessions since his arrival on the professional circuit.</p> <p>Roney first came to international prominence in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Blakey" title="Art Blakey">Art Blakey</a>'s Jazz Messengers when he succeeded <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terence_Blanchard" title="Terence Blanchard">Terence Blanchard</a> in 1986. Later in the 1980s and early 1990s, Roney was an integral part of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Williams" title="Tony Williams">Tony Williams</a>'s quintet. In 1991, Roney played with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_Davis" title="Miles Davis">Miles Davis</a> at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreux_Jazz_Festival" title="Montreux Jazz Festival">Montreux Jazz Festival</a>.

However, after the purchase of French striker <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Cantona" title="Eric Cantona">Eric Cantona</a> from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leeds_United_A.F.C." title="Leeds United A.F.C.">Leeds United</a> for £1.2 million, the future of Manchester United, and Ferguson's position as manager, began to look bright. Cantona formed a strong partnership with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Hughes" title="Mark Hughes">Mark Hughes</a> and fired the club to the top of the table, ending United's 26-year wait for a League Championship, and also making them the first ever <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_football_champions#Premier_League_.281992.E2.80.93present.29" title="English football champions" class="mw-redirect">Premier League Champions</a>, after the league reform.

Ferguson added Nottingham Forest's 22-year-old midfielder <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Keane" title="Roy Keane">Roy Keane</a> to the ranks for a British record fee of £3.75million as a long term replacement for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryan_Robson" title="Bryan Robson">Bryan Robson</a>, who was nearing the end of his career.</p> <p>United led the 1993–94 Premier League table virtually from start to finish.

United also reached the League Cup final but lost 3–1 to Aston Villa, managed by Ferguson's predecessor, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Atkinson" title="Ron Atkinson">Ron Atkinson</a>. In the FA Cup final, Manchester United achieved an impressive 4–0 scoreline against <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_F.C." title="Chelsea F.C.">Chelsea</a>, winning Ferguson his second <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Double#England" title="The Double">League and Cup Double</a>, following his Scottish Premier Division and Scottish Cup titles with Aberdeen in 1984-85. Ferguson made only one close-season signing, paying <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackburn_Rovers_F.C." title="Blackburn Rovers F.C.">Blackburn Rovers</a> £1.2million for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_May_%28footballer%29" title="David May (footballer)">David May</a>.</p> <p>1994–95 was a harder season for Ferguson. Cantona assaulted a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Palace_F.C." title="Crystal Palace F.C.">Crystal Palace</a> supporter in a game at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selhurst_Park" title="Selhurst Park">Selhurst Park</a>, and it seemed likely he would leave English football. An eight month ban saw Cantona miss the final four months of the season. He also received a 14-day prison sentence for the offence but the sentence was quashed on appeal and replaced by a 120-hour community service order. On the brighter side, United paid a British record fee of £7million for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newcastle_United_F.C." title="Newcastle United F.C.">Newcastle's</a> prolific striker <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Cole" title="Andy Cole" class="mw-redirect">Andy Cole</a>, with young winger <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Gillespie" title="Keith Gillespie">Keith Gillespie</a> heading to the north-east in exchange.</p> <p>However, the championship slipped out of Manchester United's grasp as they drew 1–1 with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Ham_United_F.C." title="West Ham United F.C.">West Ham United</a> on the final day of the season, when a win would have given them the league. United also lost the FA Cup final in a 1–0 defeat to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everton_F.C." title="Everton F.C.">Everton</a>.</p> <p>Ferguson was heavily criticised in the summer of 1995 when three of United's star players were allowed to leave and replacements were not bought. First <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Ince" title="Paul Ince">Paul Ince</a> moved to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F.C._Internazionale_Milano" title="F.C. Internazionale Milano">Internazionale</a> of Italy for £7.5 million, long serving striker <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Hughes" title="Mark Hughes">Mark Hughes</a> was suddenly sold to Chelsea in a £1.5 million deal, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Kanchelskis" title="Andrei Kanchelskis">Andrei Kanchelskis</a> was sold to Everton. It was widely known that Ferguson felt that United had a number of young players who were ready to play in the first team. The youngsters, who would be known as "Fergie's Fledglings", included <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Neville" title="Gary Neville">Gary Neville</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Neville" title="Phil Neville">Phil Neville</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Beckham" title="David Beckham">David Beckham</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Scholes" title="Paul Scholes">Paul Scholes</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicky_Butt" title="Nicky Butt">Nicky Butt</a>, who would all go on to be important members of the team.</p> <p>When United lost their first league match 3–1 to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aston_Villa_F.C." title="Aston Villa F.C.">Aston Villa</a>, the media swooped upon Ferguson with undisguised glee. They wrote United off because Alex Ferguson's squad contained so many young and inexperienced players. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_of_the_Day" title="Match of the Day">Match of the Day</a> pundit, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Hansen" title="Alan Hansen">Alan Hansen</a> infamously proclaimed that "you can't win anything with kids". However, the young players performed well and United won their next five matches.</p> <p>Cantona's return from suspension was a boost, but they found themselves fourteen points behind <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newcastle_United_F.C." title="Newcastle United F.C.">Newcastle</a>. However a series of good results in early 1996 saw the gap close, and from early March onwards United led the table. Rivals Newcastle, 12 points clear at the top of the table in January, failed to capitalise on earlier victories. Newcastle manager <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Keegan" title="Kevin Keegan">Kevin Keegan</a>'s famous outburst on live television ("I'd love it if we beat them! Love it!") is generally regarded as the moment that Ferguson gained the upper hand against his opponent. United's Premier League title success was confirmed on the final day of the season. They played Liverpool in that year's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_FA_Cup_Final" title="1996 FA Cup Final">FA Cup final</a>, winning 1–0 with a late goal by Cantona.</p> <p>1996–97 saw Alex Ferguson guide Manchester United to their fourth Premier League title in five seasons. In late October, they suffered three league defeats in a row and conceded 13 goals in the process. They also lost their 40 year unbeaten home record in Europe to unfancied Turkish side <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenerbah%C3%A7e" title="Fenerbahçe" class="mw-redirect">Fenerbahçe</a>. But they still reached the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Champions_League" title="UEFA Champions League">Champions League</a> semi final, where they lost to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borussia_Dortmund" title="Borussia Dortmund">Borussia Dortmund</a> of Germany. At the end of the season, Cantona surprisingly retired from football.</p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="1999:_The_treble">1999: The treble</span></h3> <p>Ferguson made two new signings to bolster United's challenge for the 1997–98 season, 31-year-old England striker <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_Sheringham" title="Teddy Sheringham">Teddy Sheringham</a> and defender <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henning_Berg" title="Henning Berg">Henning Berg</a>. However the season ended trophyless as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenal_F.C." title="Arsenal F.C.">Arsenal</a> won the Premier League under French manager <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsene_Wenger" title="Arsene Wenger" class="mw-redirect">Arsene Wenger</a>, who started a long-lasting rivalry with Ferguson. The summer of 1998 saw striker <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwight_Yorke" title="Dwight Yorke">Dwight Yorke</a>, Dutch defender <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaap_Stam" title="Jaap Stam">Jaap Stam</a> and the Swedish winger <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesper_Blomqvist" title="Jesper Blomqvist">Jesper Blomqvist</a> join Manchester United.</p> <p>In December 1998, Ferguson's assistant Brian Kidd accepted an offer to manage <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackburn_Rovers_F.C." title="Blackburn Rovers F.C.">Blackburn Rovers</a> and he recruited <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_McClaren" title="Steve McClaren">Steve McClaren</a> from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derby_County_F.C." title="Derby County F.C.">Derby County</a> as his successor. Ironically, Kidd's side were relegated in the penultimate game on the league season when United held them to a 0-0 draw.</p> <p>1998–99 saw the club winning an unprecedented treble of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FA_Premier_League" title="FA Premier League" class="mw-redirect">Premier League title</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FA_Cup" title="FA Cup">FA Cup</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Champions_League" title="UEFA Champions League">Champions League</a>. The season was characterised by highly dramatic matches. In the Champions League semi-final second leg, United conceded two early goals away to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juventus_F.C." title="Juventus F.C.">Juventus</a>; however, inspired by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Keane" title="Roy Keane">Roy Keane</a>, who would later miss the final through suspension, United came back to beat Juventus 3–2 and reach their first European Cup final since 1968. In the FA Cup semi-final, United faced close rivals Arsenal and appeared to be heading for defeat when Keane was sent off and Arsenal were awarded a last-minute penalty. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Schmeichel" title="Peter Schmeichel">Peter Schmeichel</a> saved the penalty, and in extra time <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Giggs" title="Ryan Giggs">Ryan Giggs</a> ran the length of the pitch to score perhaps the most memorable goal of his career to win the match. They then defeated <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newcastle_United_F.C." title="Newcastle United F.C.">Newcastle United</a> 2–0 in the FA Cup Final at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wembley_Stadium_%281923%29" title="Wembley Stadium (1923)">Wembley</a> thanks to goals from Teddy Sheringham and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Scholes" title="Paul Scholes">Paul Scholes</a>. The European triumph was the most incredible of all. With 90 minutes on the clock they were 1–0 down to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Bayern_Munich" title="FC Bayern Munich">Bayern Munich</a> at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Nou" title="Camp Nou">Nou Camp</a> in Barcelona following a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Basler" title="Mario Basler">Mario Basler</a> free kick, but in 3 minutes of injury time allowed by referee <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierluigi_Collina" title="Pierluigi Collina">Pierluigi Collina</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_Sheringham" title="Teddy Sheringham">Teddy Sheringham</a>, a substitute, equalised and extra time looked certain.

The massive gap between United and the rest of the Premier League caused some to wonder if the club's financial dominance was developing into a problem for the English game.</p> <p>In April 2000, it was announced that Manchester United had agreed to sign Dutch striker <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruud_van_Nistelrooy" title="Ruud van Nistelrooy">Ruud van Nistelrooy</a> from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSV_Eindhoven" title="PSV Eindhoven">PSV Eindhoven</a> for a British record fee of £18million.

Then came a dramatic turn around in form: between mid-December and late January, eight successive wins saw Manchester United climb to the top of the Premier League and put their title challenge back on track. Despite this, United finished third in the League as rival Arsene Wenger clinched the title for Arsenal at Old Trafford with a 1–0 win in the penultimate game of the season.</p> <p>United were also unsuccessful in Europe, losing the Champions League semi-final on away goals to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayer_04_Leverkusen" title="Bayer 04 Leverkusen">Bayer Leverkusen</a>.</p> <p>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001%E2%80%9302_in_English_football" title="2001–02 in English football">2001–02</a> season was to have been Ferguson's last as Manchester United manager, and the looming date of his retirement was cited<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" title="The material in the vicinity of this tag may use weasel words or too-vague attribution. from March 2009" style="white-space: nowrap;">[<i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Avoid_weasel_words" title="Wikipedia:Avoid weasel words">who?</a></i>]</sup> as a reason for the team's loss of form. Ferguson himself admitted that the decision to pre-announce his retirement had resulted in a negative effect on the players and on his ability to impose discipline. But in February 2002 he agreed to stay in charge for at least another three years.</p> <p>The close season saw Manchester United break the British transfer record yet again when they paid <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leeds_United_A.F.C." title="Leeds United A.F.C.">Leeds United</a> £30million for 24-year-old central defender <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_Ferdinand" title="Rio Ferdinand">Rio Ferdinand</a>.</p> <p>That summer, Ferguson brought in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portugal" title="Portugal">Portuguese</a> coach <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Queiroz" title="Carlos Queiroz">Carlos Queiroz</a> as his assistant.</p> <p>Manchester United won their eighth Premier League title yet just over two months before the end of the season they were eight points behind leaders Arsenal. But an improvement in form for United, and a decline for Arsenal, saw the Premier League trophy gradually slip out of the Londoners' grasp and push it back in the direction of Old Trafford. Ferguson described the 2002-03 title triumph as his most satisfying ever, due to the nature of a remarkable comeback. Not for the first time, Ferguson had proven to be a master of managerial mind-games, successfully rattling the composure of Arsenal and their otherwise unflappable manager Arsène Wenger.</p> <p>Ferguson guided Manchester United to their eleventh FA Cup at the end of the 2003–04 season, but it was a disappointing season which had seen them finish third in the Premier League and suffer Champions League elimination at the hands of eventual winners <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futebol_Clube_do_Porto" title="Futebol Clube do Porto" class="mw-redirect">FC Porto</a>. Rio Ferdinand missed the final four months of the season, as he served the beginning of an eight-month ban for missing a drugs test. New signings like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Djemba-Djemba" title="Eric Djemba-Djemba">Eric Djemba-Djemba</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Kl%C3%A9berson" title="José Kléberson">José Kléberson</a> were disappointing, but there was at least one productive signing—19-year-old Portuguese winger <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristiano_Ronaldo" title="Cristiano Ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a>.</p> <p>At the beginning of the 2004–05 season, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Rooney" title="Wayne Rooney">Wayne Rooney</a> and Argentine defender <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel_Heinze" title="Gabriel Heinze">Gabriel Heinze</a> joined United while <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristiano_Ronaldo" title="Cristiano Ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> continued where he had left off the previous season by putting in more match-winning performances. But the lack of a striker after van Nistelrooy spent most of the season injured saw the club finish third for the third time in four seasons. In the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FA_Cup" title="FA Cup">FA Cup</a> they lost on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penalty_shootout_%28association_football%29" title="Penalty shootout (association football)">penalties</a> to Arsenal.</p> <p>Ferguson's preparations for the season were disrupted by a high-profile dispute with major shareholder <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Magnier" title="John Magnier">John Magnier</a>, over the ownership of the racehorse <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_of_Gibraltar_%28horse%29" title="Rock of Gibraltar (horse)">Rock of Gibraltar</a>.

This sparked violent protests from United fans, and disrupted Ferguson's plans to strengthen the team in the transfer market. In spite of this, United looked to solve their goalkeeping and midfield problems.

However, United recovered and began a tight race with Arsenal for the title. After a good run of form, Ferguson claimed that throughout his time at Manchester United, this was the best squad he had managed to assemble thus far.<sup id="cite_ref-BestSquad_44-0" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Ferguson#cite_note-BestSquad-44"><span>[</span>45<span>]</span></a></sup></p> <p>On 16 February 2008, United beat Arsenal 4–0 in an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FA_Cup" title="FA Cup">FA Cup</a> Fifth Round match at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Trafford" title="Old Trafford">Old Trafford</a>, but were knocked out by eventual winners <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portsmouth_F.C." title="Portsmouth F.C.">Portsmouth</a> in the Sixth Round on 8 March, losing 1–0 at home.

Ferguson was subsequently charged by the FA with improper conduct, which he decided to contest. This was the second charge Ferguson faced in the season, following his complaints against the referee after United lost 1–0 at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolton_Wanderers_F.C." title="Bolton Wanderers F.C.">Bolton Wanderers</a> – a charge he decided not to contest.</p> <p>On 11 May 2008, Ferguson led Manchester United to a tenth Premier League title, exactly 25 years to the day after he led Aberdeen to European glory against Real Madrid in the European Cup Winners' Cup. Nearest rivals Chelsea – level on points going into the final round of matches, but with an inferior goal difference – could only draw 1–1 at home to Bolton, finishing two points adrift of the champions.</p> <p>On 21 May 2008, Ferguson won his second European Cup with Manchester United as they beat Chelsea 6–5 on penalties in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luzhniki_Stadium" title="Luzhniki Stadium">Luzhniki Stadium</a> in Moscow, following a 1–1 draw after extra time in the first ever all-English UEFA Champions League Final.

Ferguson has now won 11 league titles at Manchester United, and the 2008–09 season title success puts them level with Liverpool as league champions on a record 18 occasions in total.

This would make United's total league wins one more than rivals Liverpool, becoming the outright leader in total wins.<sup id="cite_ref-46" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Ferguson#cite_note-46"><span>[</span>47<span>]</span></a></sup></p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Legacy">Legacy</span></h2> <p>One recurring theme of Ferguson's management of Manchester United has been his view that no player is bigger than the club. He has consistently taken a "my way or the highway" approach in his dealings with players and the pressure of this management tactic has often been the cause of many notable players' departures. Over the years players such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Strachan" title="Gordon Strachan">Gordon Strachan</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_McGrath_%28footballer%29" title="Paul McGrath (footballer)">Paul McGrath</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Ince" title="Paul Ince">Paul Ince</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaap_Stam" title="Jaap Stam">Jaap Stam</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwight_Yorke" title="Dwight Yorke">Dwight Yorke</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Beckham" title="David Beckham">David Beckham</a> and more recently, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruud_van_Nistelrooy" title="Ruud van Nistelrooy">Ruud van Nistelrooy</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel_Heinze" title="Gabriel Heinze">Gabriel Heinze</a> have left the club after varying degrees of conflict with Ferguson.
