Alex Ferguson I couldnt help but laugh at this : Man guilty of assaulting Sir Alex A man has pleaded guilty to assaulting Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson at a London railway station. Kevin Reynolds, 43, admitted punching Sir Alex in the groin before butting a police community support officer at Euston station on Monday. Reynolds was warned by City of Westminster magistrates that he faces a jail sentence when he appears at Southwark Crown Court at a later date. Sir Alex, who was born in Glasgow, is not believed to have been badly hurt. He had been in London for a function. Reynolds, of no fixed address, was charged with actual bodily harm, assault and two public order offences. Adeola Olowu, defending, said her client initially thought he had come across a Sir Alex look-alike. She said her client was joking around and that he struck Sir Alex while shadow boxing. Magistrate Daphne Wickham said: "I do not think Sir Alex Ferguson saw this as a joke." She said Reynolds was "a fighting drunk", adding that her powers of sentence, which allow for six months' imprisonment, were insufficient. Reynolds was remanded in custody. I love the excuse "shadow boxing"
