#59. Duncan Ferguson (1994-98, 2000-06)

273 appearances, 72 goals

2614566

As misunderstood as Boo Radley, as Blue as they come, and unsurprisingly the No 1 choice for this season’s induction into Gwladys Street’s Hall Of Fame. Ferguson may not be the most glorious Toffee ever but peer over the journalistic wall of words and you have the perfect talisman for late 1990s Everton. Fans projected all their angst onto this Scottish totem, who was blighted by injury, brimming with anger, a fan amongst players and, when the mood took him, an unplayable striker. A nearly man who was underrated on the floor and wonderful in the air – most memorably against Liverpool in 1994. In one of his final acts for the club, Ferguson was to score the curiously disallowed goal against Villarreal that would have kept Everton in the scramble to proceed to the Champions League proper.
