SIR ALEX FERGUSON watched his son Darren get booked for arguing as Peterborough were thumped 3-0 at Luton on Saturday.
The Manchester United legend, 79, snubbed his former club's 4-0 pre-season drubbing of Everton to make the trip to Kenilworth Road.
Fergie played the role of proud dad as he watched on from the stands for Posh's pre-season opener in Bedfordshire.
But midway through the second-half, with Luton winning 1-0, the Scot watched on as his son was shown a yellow card.
Posh defender Mark Beevers appeared to handle the ball to scupper a quick Luton breakaway.
Beevers was only shown a yellow for his actions, with Darren and Luton boss Nathan Jones involved in a furious row.
Both bosses were booked for their role in the scuffle.
And things went from bad to worse for Ferguson Jnr shortly after.
Luton went 2-0 up through a Harry Cornick goal just three minutes after Darren's booking.
And another three minutes later, it was 3-0 to the hosts after Fred Onyedinma got on the score-sheet.

For Ferguson Jnr, it was the worst possible start to what is his third season as Peterborough manager in what is now his third stint.
Ferguson Jnr – who finished his playing career at the club – served as manager between 2007 and 2009, before returning between 2011 and 2015.
Following a three-year stint as Doncaster boss, Ferguson came back to London Road in 2019.
