| Born in Stirling in 1971, Ferguson kicked off his career with Dundee United and Glasgow Rangers. The towering inferno was pried away from Ibrox by Mike Walker for a three-month loan spell and his �4.4 million transfer was completed by new manager Joe Royle in 1994. Ferguson made an immediate impact on Merseyside football but his career was interupted by a catalogue of injuries, disciplinary problems and a 44-day spell in Barlinnie Prison. He reluctantly departed to Newcastle United in 1998, but two years later returned to his beloved Everton, to the joy of Evertonians everywhere. |
