'I Should Have Ripped Beckham's Shirt Off!" Duncan Ferguson tells all with Andy Dunn

Описание: In a revealing interview with Andy Dunn, the former Everton striker Duncan Ferguson opens up about his past, including his time in prison, struggles with alcohol, and reflections on his football career.

Ferguson recalls the harrowing experience of his first day in Glasgow’s Barlinnie prison, describing the chilling silence and stares when he entered the prison's D Hall, likening it to a coliseum atmosphere. He admits the ordeal was terrifying despite trying to maintain a fearless facade.

He also discusses his struggle with alcohol post-retirement, acknowledging how he regularly drank in Majorca before deciding to quit drinking 15 years ago. Ferguson admits he looks back and winces at some of the 'hard man' stuff, including shunning David Beckham when he offered to shake his hand following a match, a decision he now views as immature.

Ferguson challenges the common perception of him as a tough figure and shares his journey from a troubled past to personal redemption. He emphasises that he's "not the big hard case everyone makes me out to be" and reflects on his transformation over the years.

Duncan Ferguson's autobiography, Big Dunc, delves further into his experiences and is available for those interested in his complete story.
