He was one of the hardest, most controversial footballers of his
generation: the GBP20million man who became the first professional
player to go to jail for an offence committed on the field of play.
He was the fans' hero who disappeared. Duncan Ferguson was an
old-fashioned Scottish centre-forward who went from a boarding
house in Dundee to the marble staircase of Rangers in a
record-breaking transfer. His GBP4m move from Dundee United to
Ibrox made him British football's most expensive native player. But
he would also become one of the most notorious footballers in the
land. Sent to prison after head-butting an opponent during a
Scottish Premier Division match between Rangers and Raith Rovers,
Ferguson made history all over again. He served half of a
three-month sentence in Glasgow's infamous Barlinnie Prison. A
twelve-match ban from the Scottish Football Association was later
overturned following a long appeal process. Bruised by the
experience, he turned his back on Scotland's national team and the
media. Ferguson reaped the riches of the Sky era. He was a folk
hero at Everton, where he spent ten years either side of an
injury-hit spell at Newcastle United. Although the game made him a
millionaire, he rejected its new culture of celebrity and remained
a fiery figure, racking up a Premiership record of eight red cards.
And then, after scoring in the final minute of the last game of his
career, he turned his back on football completely - or so it
seemed.
