SIR Alex Ferguson was pictured getting lost in Blackburn over the weekend.
The 75-year-old ex-Manchester United manager was going to Ewood Park on Saturday to watch his son Darren Ferguson's Doncaster Rovers team face Blackburn Rovers.
However a United supporter got a surprise on his lunch break when he was stopped by the former Old Trafford boss in Whalley Range.
Khizum Mirza said: "I was at work and went to Manchester sweet centre on Whalley Range in Blackburn on my lunch break when I was walking back from there i was stopped by Fergie.
"He was lost wanted to get to Ewood Park so I gave him post code to put in sat nav."
It was around 2.30pm when the incident happened.
Mr Mirza added: "At first, I didn't have a proper look I just thought it was some random person who was lost and needed help when I looked inΒ the car that's when I recognised him.
"I quickly took my phone out and took a pic. I couldn't have a proper chat as it wasn't a convenient place and not the right time."
Meanwhile, the appearance of Ferguson sparked reaction on social media.
