Peterborough boss relieved as 'Fergie' jinx broken

Peterborough boss Darren Ferguson has said the "jinx" of his father Sir Alex watching his side play was lifted with Saturday's 1-0 win away to Rochdale. Ferguson has long believed that his father's presence at games is bad luck - unless his mother is there too.

"He'll be delighted that we've won and it's good to break that jinx," Darren told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.

"The jinx is gone. I hope. It was local-ish for my old man and he came with [former Manchester United assistant] Mike Phelan.

"He'd have enjoyed watching us win and I'm sure he'll have plenty of tips for what we did wrong."
