Sir Alex Ferguson has donated a fascinating collection of his personal memorabilia to a university that renamed its library in his honour.
Items include his A-licence coaching certificate from 1979 and a diary from 1993 - the season he won his first Premier League title with Manchester United.
The handwritten diary shows notes recording United's 3-1 win at Old Trafford over Kenny Dalglish's Blackburn Rovers on May 3, 1993.
It was the night Red Devils fans celebrated the club's first league title since 1967 at the final home game of the season.
Ryan Giggs, Paul Ince and Gary Pallister were on the score sheet, as referenced in Sir Alex's diary entry.
A worn Scottish league shirt, an early coaching notepad from his time managing Aberdeen referencing a game at Pittodrie, a certificate from his days in the Boys' Brigade, a League Managers Association manager of the year trophy and Sir Alex's security pass from the 1986 World Cup in Mexico also feature.
The Scot, who led United to 38 trophies between 1986 and 2013, is widely considered to be one of the world's greatest ever football managers.
The 77-year-old has been a long-time supporter of Glasgow Caledonian University and was a founding donor of the GCU Foundation.
He visited this week to make the donation while officially opening the university's Sir Alex Ferguson Library.
The collection will be housed in a display called Sir Alex - My Story in Objects.
The display in the library's dedicated archive centre will be open to students, staff and the general public.
Sir Alex, who has also managed Aberdeen and Scotland and was born in Govan, Glasgow, said: "I've had a brilliant relationship with GCU over many years now and it is an absolute honour that the university has chosen to name its library after me.

"The university was keen to give an insight into the person the library has been named after and I hope that donating personal items from my life will help to do that.
"I thoroughly enjoy returning to the university and listening to students speak passionately about their experiences.
"I see great ambition and potential in many of our young people."
The university's principal and vice-chancellor, Professor Pamela Gillies, said: "The university's library will be renamed the Sir Alex Ferguson Library in recognition of his outstanding generosity and contribution to nurturing the talent of our students at Glasgow Caledonian University.
"It is also in recognition of the fact that Sir Alex is a local hero who has achieved phenomenal influence as the world's most successful football manager and as a truly exceptional, inspiring leader."
"We felt the library, the heart of the university, would be the most appropriate building to rename.
"It contributes directly to the university's key goals to equip students with the skills and knowledge they need to achieve academically, to maximise their employability and to contribute to our mission, for the common good.
"This aligns very closely to Sir Alex's motivation for supporting our students, which was driven by his passion for providing young people with precious opportunities that will encourage them to reach their full potential and achieve their dreams."
