\nAlex Ferguson is one of the most successful footballmanagers of all time.  \n# 1 Introduction\n\nIn the spring of 1983,  \nAlex Ferguson led Aberdeen outto play the mighty Bayern Munich.It was the quarter final  \nof the European Cup Winners'Cup.  \nAberdeen was not a team full of expensive stars,just a lot of home-grown talent.  \nAfter an hour,the Germans were 2-1 up.  \nThe manager had to do something-quickly.  \nHe put on two subs.  \nHe hoped they would turn the game around.And they did.  \nA minute later,  \none sub supplied the cross for the equaliser.The other scored the winning goalwith minutes to go.Aberdeen 3,Bayern Munich 2!  \nAnd that trick with the two subs...He might try that again sometime...  \n# 2 Early life\n\nOn the last day of 1941,  \nAlexander Ferguson was born.It was in Govan,on the River Clyde,in Glasgow.  \nThe world was at war.The shipyards on the Clydewere bombed at nightby German planes.  \n'Where I come from,'he said later,'everyone relied on everyone else.We had all seen hard timesat some time or other.'  \nAlex's dad told him  \nyou had to be honest and loyal.You had to have drive.  \nYou had to have faith in yourself.You had to work hard.  \nAnd never give in.Never say die.These were the keys to success.  \nAlex's dad worked in the shipyards in Clyde.  \nAlex's dad was also called Alex Ferguson.He was a union man,a Labour voter.He worked in the shipyards.Alex's mum,Lizzie,worked in a factory.  \nHis dad told Alex he had to learn a trade.So at 16,he began to learn to be a toolmaker.He stuck at it for the full five years.  \nAnd,just like his dad,  \nAlex was a shop steward in the union.He liked being a leader.  \nOne time,he took the men out on strike.They won a pay rise.  \nBut by then,  \nhe knew that football was his future.At 16,he was playing for Queen's Park.(He was still at work.)  \nAnd he played for Scotlandas a schoolboy.","cbCaibAeMmozckty","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibAeMmozckty","pdf",2612293,36,"English","# 1 Introduction\n# 2 Early life","[{\"question\":\"What key event does the book’s introduction
