Our 'exclusive' with Ferguson

May 31 2006

Liverpool Echo

DUNCAN FERGUSON did speak exclusively to the Echo once - although the words exchanged hardly amount to an illuminating exposé of his thoughts and footballing philosophies. In the days when footballers were altogether more familiar with and more trusting of the local press, I was booked into the same hotel as Mike Walker's Everton team for four nights, as they faced Portsmouth and then Southampton. Despite alate goal ending Everton's interest in the League Cup at Fratton Park, the majority of the players headed into Bournemouth. Ferguson, who was nursing a badly swollen ankle, did not. I joined him at the hotel bar and asked: "Do you think you'll stay at Everton once your loan's finished?" Story continues ADVERTISEMENT "I wouldn't have thought so," he replied. And that was that. Infinitely more entertaining was a colourful exchange between Ian Snodin and David Burrows, but Ferguson had long since retired to bed.
