Tim Howard: Angry Alex Ferguson more frightening than talking to Barack Obama

  

After his stunning 16-save performance in the United States’ loss to Belgium in the World Cup, Tim Howard received a call from President Barack Obama, who wanted to commend him on his efforts.

Being told that the leader of the free world is on the line for you would be a pretty stressful, nail-biting experience for anyone right?

Not Tim Howard.

Why? Because the current Everton and former Manchester United goalkeeper has been on the business end of an angry Sir Alex Ferguson before, and according to him, that’s more frightening.

From ESPN:

“The president’s not going to yell at me. If David Moyes or Ferguson yells at you, it’s the worst thing in the world.”

Ferguson got a man like Tim Howard, who apparently has nerves of steel, to quake in his boots. No wonder he coached United to 13 league titles.
