Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has quit alcohol, including his favourite red wine, as he recovers from a brain surgery. The Scot, 76, who underwent an emergency surgery in May following a brain haemorrhage, visited France for a holiday recently.
"He drank water every time he visited us, not a drop of wine touched his lips," a staff member of Villefranche-sur-Mer restaurant in France was quoted saying by British tabloid The Daily Mail.
