Want Alex Ferguson’s last bit of game-chewed chewing gum? Then get onto eBay

After 1,500 games, and tens of thousands of bits of gum, someone thinks they have nabbed the final bit of chewing gum Fergie ever gnashed on. So they have put it up for sale.

We’re more than a little sceptical about this one but even if it is a joke, it is a very well crafted one. Someone on eBay is claiming that this beautifully presented piece of used chewing gum is the final one ever used by Alex Ferguson in a match.

Chewing gum during games was almost as much a part of the Fergie persona as volcanic temper tantrums, watch watching and hoovering up trophies. Now, for the current low, low price of £28, you can own what the seller says is ‘rumoured’ to be a piece of gum from his final match in charge of Manchester United at West Brom yesterday.

If it is real, perhaps Fergie could be cloned from the saliva residue at some point down the line?
