Duncan Ferguson Talks Prison, Punch Ups & 90's Premier League Chaos

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads are joined by a bona fide football hardman—Duncan Ferguson. The former Everton, Newcastle United, and Rangers striker, who later managed Everton, sits down with Pete, Chris, and Sids for a wild ride through his explosive football career. Known for his aggressive style of play, legendary scraps, and deeply loyal fanbase, “Big Dunc” doesn’t hold back.

From prison time to on-field battles, Duncan shares jaw-dropping stories from his time in the game—headbutts, red cards, and what it was really like behind the scenes at Goodison Park. He opens up about managing Everton, the modern player, and his scariest moments on and off the pitch.
