BIG DUNC: I WAS LED ASTRAY SO EASILY

Ex-Blues star opens up in new book

FORMER Blues star Duncan Ferguson, who stopped drinking at 37, says any time there had been trouble in his life, drink had been involved.

He had been in a few scraps before an infamous incident at the Royal Hotel in Anstruther, a quiet fishing village on the Fife coast, when he was 21, having gone to a Young Player of the Year event. Now 53, he says: “Like a big, daft softie, I was too easily led astray.”

The Premier League legend was buying a round when a lad with them got into a confrontation with another boy.
