When it comes to the world of football (soccer for you yanks :P), the name Sir Alex Ferguson is one that carries a lot of weight, it is a name associated with greatness and success. Described as one of the greatest leaders Britain ever produced, Ferguson was the mastermind behind one of the biggest brands the country had to offer, Manchester United.

Over a period of 26 years, Sir Alex managed to transform United into a multimillion pound global business, collecting every single domestic trophy there is in football along the way. His level of leadership is unparalleled in the history of world football.

In this film BBC political editor Nick Robinson manages to get up close and personal with the football legend and reveals some of the secrets to his success, whilst Sir Alex himself shares some insights on leadership that speak to everyone, shedding light on how he managed to stay on top for so long.

Featuring contributions from leading figures in business, politics, military and sport, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Tony Blair, General Sir Michael Jackson, Lord Sugar, Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand, Sir Michael Moritz, Jose Mourinho and Professor Anita Elberse.
