Duncan Ferguson, the iconic figure of Liverpool Echo, a former football player for Everton FC, is gearing up for the release of his autobiography. Known for his time wearing the number nine shirt for Everton, he holds a special place in the hearts of Goodison Park fans. Second only to Romelu Lukaku in terms of all-time leading goalscorers in the Premier League era for the club, Ferguson’s 73 goals in 273 appearances across two spells from 1994-1998 and 2000-2006 have solidified his legendary status.
