redseptember Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 That video is an absolute classic. One of the things I love is that Big Dunc is humble enough to introduce himself properly 'This is Duncan Ferguson from Everton Football Club'. And I think that is him attempting to hold back on the swearing. Legend of the game. Thanks for posting the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Ferguson was an absolute thug on the pitch - real tough and angry bastard. Not sure how many times he got sent off but I do remember him elbowing an opponent who was trying to dispossess him from behind and got a straight red for that. Much nicer bloke off the pitch than on it and a real hero to Evetonians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly, I think the ref missed it and took no action at the time, it took the CPS to get involved. I'll see if I can find it. Here it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 It really is hard to overstate just how much Evertonians love him. Loads of stories, like when he took over as caretaker manager, visited Howard Kendall’s widow on the morning of his first game & asked if he could wear his watch in his memory, or the chap who posted that Big Dunc was driving through Liverpool & saw his lad walking back home from football practice with an Everton top on, so stopped his Merc & gave him £20. I find the whole Premiership circus utterly nauseating (Cristiano Ronaldo FFS & the hoardes of big club plastics) but he’s a link back to when players & fans interacted. He was dirty but also a ******* legend, Shearer said he was the best partner he ever had, there is footage of Roy Keane shitting out of a confrontation with him, plus of course the time 2 blokes broke into his house & he beat the shit out of both of them, one was in hospital for a week before the police could arrest him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WessexPest Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Much more likable now than he was as a player - I hated the fact people used to glorify his thuggery, especially as sometimes he seemed to go off on players who hadn’t deserved it and who were unlikely to have a go back at him. Yeah, he did chuck Ince to the ground once but nobody except the “Guv’nor” himself truly thinks of him as a hard man. DF still not the hardest man in football, though - that honour would go to Billy Whitehurst who used to indulge in bare-knuckle fighting to supplement his football income. Absolute nails.

Bazooka Joe Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 We could do with a Big Dunc type of striker. Aggressive, fearless and passionate. He'd terrorise today's so-called hard defenders such as Morrison, O'Connell and Bartley. Problem is, in the modern game, he'd get red-carded too often.

Tin Soldier Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 This is why Premiership plastics I hate. Big Dunc is old skool football, and I was lucky enough to be at matches when football was made of characters like him - legend. As someone stated, Everton FC is still an old skool style football club. There ain’t many nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maltshoveller Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Think one or two on here are being a bit unfair on big dunc A lot better player than just a big thug Scored some great goals had a great first touch and very go left foot no need to say how good he was in the air If he could have stayed fit IMO he would have been one of the prems great forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
