Fond farewell to big game player Duncan

May 9 2006

By Andy Gray, Liverpool Echo

 

Duncan Ferguson

DUNCAN FERGUSON has made himself an Everton legend.

There are some people out there who would question the validity of that statement - but not Evertonians, and I would never argue with what Everton supporters say about a footballer.

What you can say without any fear of argument whatsoever is that Duncan Ferguson loved Everton Football Club. Of that there is absolutely no doubt.

He was a big game player, that's clear.

He loved nothing better than turning it on against Manchester United or Liverpool - and he has an FA Cup winners' medal in his possession from 1995.

It's always sad when any football career comes to an end, but Duncan will know better than anybody whether his body was capable of carrying on.

I know how it feels when you can't do what you used to on a football pitch and when that happens, it's time to call it a day.

Duncan was lucky enough to be able to bow out with a goal down at the Gwladys Street End. That was the perfect way for him to finish and I know how much that moment will have meant to him.

I watched Duncan from a very young age at Dundee United and what people lose sight of is just how good a footballer he was.

He is a complex character.
