Does Sir Alex Ferguson have curious self-image issues?

Will the real Sir Alex Ferguson please stand up

As reported in today’s Mirror, Sir Alex Ferguson took a bit of time out from wandering the Man United training pitches, randomly slapping his players, and instead drew a little self portrait to be included in The Art of Football collection for the music therapy charity Nodroff Robins.

Only, whilst most of those involved attempted sympathetic interpretations of themselves - most often resulting in childlike stick men with balloon heads – Sir Alex conjured up something rather more intriguing, an image which professional drawing psychologists could really go to town on. It appears to be a clown in a dunce’s cap.

Has the mask slipped? Underneath it all, is Sir Alex just a lonely clown who thinks he’s a bit thick?

You can see the actual picture here, or just enjoy the clever recreation of what Sir Alex may or may not see when he looks in the mirror above. Your choice.
