Ahead of Saturday's FA Cup Final we have been highlighting the players in The FA Cup 'Team of Heroes' as voted for by you, the fans.

Now we reveal the manager who you voted to lead The FA Cup 'Team of Heroes'.

The competition began to commemorate the incredible contribution of the players in 125 years of The FA Cup - and after more than 10,000 votes we have our team - and the manager too.

One man who knows better than most what it takes to win The FA Cup is Manchester United's long-serving manager, Sir Alex Ferguson.

The Scotsman has guided his team to seven FA Cup Finals, winning five of them. Ferguson was no stranger to Scottish Cup success with Aberdeen, but first steered United to The FA Cup Final in 1990. His most recent final came only last season when United lost to Arsenal following a penalty shoot-out.

Four years after he joined the club Ferguson collected his first bit of silverware when United beat Crystal Palace 1-0 in The Final replay, following an epic 3-3 draw in the original game, with a goal from Lee Martin.

His next FA Cup success came in 1994 in the form of a relatively comfortable 4-0 win over Chelsea, a match that featured two penalties from talismanic Frenchman Eric Cantona.

Ferguson guided United back to Wembley the following year but left without the trophy when a Paul Rideout header handed Joe Royle's Everton an unexpected 1-0 win in 1995.

He did not have to wait long to make amends, however, returning in 1996 to claim The FA Cup and secure the Double. Cantona was a goalscorer again, this time settling an otherwise forgettable encounter with a memorable, long-range volley in injury-time to a secure a 1-0 victory over Liverpool.

United next descended on Wembley in 1999, beating Newcastle 2-0 with goals from Paul Scholes and Teddy Sheringham. Ferguson's men went on to complete a history-making Treble by beating Bayern Munich at the Nou Camp in the European Cup Final.

In 2004, United beat First Division Millwall 3-0 in a one-sided affair at the Millennium Stadium, bringing Ferguson's FA Cup trophy haul to five.

He came very close to making it six in last year's Final and will no doubt be bidding to win the famous old trophy again when competition resumes next season.
