Mike Ferguson

philipl - Signed from Accy Stanley. An extraordinarily skilful and strong player. In many ways a fore-runner of today's professional- he would have been very much at home in the Premiership. Moved onto Aston Villa where he gave many years of excellent service.

bazza - When Accrington Stanley folded and went out of the league (1961?) Ferguson came to Ewood. He was a lot taller than Douglas, looked round-shouldered; almost hunched; got the ball at his feet and seemed ever so slow as he shuffled along. All this was deceiving because his ball control was superb. The opposition couldn't get it off him. He always seemed to have a stormer against Aston Villa. During a 4-0 win at Villa Park....(all this is in my head....no consultation of books...so I may not get it quite right..) I wasn't there but the reports say Fergie waltzed round 7 Villa players, including the goalkeeper, and walked the ball into an empty net. He was a joy to watch.

tonyoz - i would just like to put a word in for a man who was my number one hero for several years. Mike Ferguson.....im pleased that someone else on an earlier post mentioned him. To me he was like duffer would become........he even had the hunched knackered look! He would turn an opposition fullback inside out......then come back and do it again just for the fun of it.

knobblybottom - The most exciting player on the list for me was Mike Ferguson. He could do the most amazing things with the ball (and some pretty stupid ones too at times) but he's the one I'll go for.
