Sir Alex Ferguson: Not Shy but Retiring

BBC World Service - Sportshour, Sir Alex Ferguson: Not Shy but Retiring

How will Sir Alex Ferguson cope with retirement?

How will Sir Alex Ferguson cope with retirement? We talk about how to cope with the transition from work to retirement.

Sir Alex Ferguson takes charge of his 1500th and last game as manager of Manchester United next weekend, but what's next? Author of the book The Psychology of Retirement: Coping with the Transition from Work, will discuss this tricky change of gear.

Also could the birthplace of David Moyes be one of the best indications of how likely he will succeed at Man Utd? We find out what it is about Glasgow that produces the sort of character that commands such respect.

It is week four of our series exploring sport and the senses.  We’re looking at sight with blind swimmer Brad Snyder. A soldier who lost his sight after being caught in a blast whilst on tour in Afghanistan and used swimming to "bring autonomy back to one aspect of his life”.

The FA Cup final is a fixture steeped in tradition and history. Teams presented to royalty before the kick-off, new suits made especially for the occasion and they head to the recording studio. X-FM’s Tim Cocker joins us to look at the FA Cup Final song from The Anfield Rap to Abide With Me.

And we look at the daily commute to work around the world with Channtal Fleischfresser, who covers transportation for CBS Interactive and Steven Le Cefel, who travels over 1700 kilometres just to play a game of football -  in Rhyl.
