King Radge Packet. There's a good reason Duncan Ferguson holds the record for Premier League red cards in his colourful career at Everton and Newcastle, but it's still a travesty that Magpies fans didn't get to see more of the best of him in black and white. He was a very gifted and very imposing striker as famed for his hair-trigger temper as his goalscoring ability, and he will forever be remembered as the rare footballer who was jailed for an on-field assault, and who sat on the stupidest burglar in the history of burglary. Ferguson genuinely had a screw loose, and expressed himself with violence in a far more committed way than he did generally while playing his 41 games for Newcastle. And he was notoriously as prickly with the press as he was with opposition defenders, meaning his mythology was reinforced by silence and half-remembered whispers.
