Alex Ferguson was on Who wants to be a millionaire and got to the final round only using two of his lives.

Chris Tarrent says "Right Alex, for one million pounds, what lives in sets, foxes, badgers or cuckoos".

Fergie strokes his chin and says "well I can illiminate foxes because they live in lairs but I'm not quite sure about the other two and don't want to guess so can I phone a friend".

Tarrent replies "Of course, who do you want"

Fergie nominates David Beckham and they ring him up.

Fergie explains it's a choice of two and says to Beckham " David, what lives in sets badgers or cuckoos"

Beckham thinks for a few seconds and then says "Alex the answer is badgers"

"Are you sure " says Fergie "Positive" replys Beckham, so Fergie comes away with One Million quid.

When the party at the studio is over he rings Beckham to thank him and says "Thanks David but how were you so sure the answer was badgers.

Beckham answers "well boss I really didn't know the answer but it was a process of illimination because I knew cuckoos lived in clocks"
