I guess this guy do not need any introduction, as Duncan Ferguson always seemed to love unleashing his most lethal scoring and bullying abilities against teams such as Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United.
However, I really miss the guy. He was quite the character and I guess the kind of player who would not stand much of a chance in todays Premier League as if he had continued his no nonsense way of playing, the red cards would be flying within seconds of time, each game.
Even when not at his beloved Everton, Duncan would score some stunning goals, especially against some of the best defenders of that era.
I remember well how he single handly destroyed Man Utd when playing for Newcastle, and it was not some weak ass defence that he was up against but guys like Jaap Stam, and still he would have few problems scoring several times.
At the end of the day, I guess his negative discipline record along with several injuries might have something to do with the fact that he never become a truly great Premier League striker, but for many people he is more of a cult figure these days.
