Big Dunc: The Story of a Goodison Hero poster
NR

Duncan Ferguson was a Goodison Park hero. Arriving initially on loan from Glasgow Rangers in 1994 he very quickly became an Evertonian idol. His robust, brave, yet undoubtedly skilful style endeared him to the supporters and a towering header that found the net against Liverpool just after his arrival rubber-stamped his reputation. BIG DUNC tells the whole amazing story of how a gangly youth from the Scottish town of Stirling became one of the most feared and iconic centre-forwards in the Premier League. This Official Everton DVD covers Ferguson s career from schoolboy football, through Dundee United, Glasgow Rangers, his two spells at Goodison, a stay at Newcastle United and an all-too brief international career with Scotland. But, as with most comic-book heroes, there are ups and downs in equal measure. The goals and the glory, the injuries and the red cards, the brushes with the law, the burglaries and the pigeons.

But they are nothing if not resourceful, and they set themselves a mission to raise the cash. While they think up increasingly outlandish money making schemes - from selling junk to shoplifting and the odd bit of housebreaking - real life begins to interfere with the pair's final scam going hilariously awry landing them in jail, only to discover that their punishment gets them exactly where they want to be!
