Duncan Ferguson came to prominence at an early age, making his international debut for Scotland aged just 20. A tall, lean striker with the world at his feet, Ferguson seemed destined to develop into one of Scotland's most successful exports, but anger, and a number of injuries, hampered his progress. Ferguson has scored the most goals of any Scot in the Premiership but also shares the record for Premiership red cards with Patrick Vieira (eight). In 1995, he became the first professional footballer to be jailed for an offence committed on the pitch. It earned him a three-month stretch in Glasgow's infamous Barlinnie Prison and a 12-match ban from the SFA. Bruised by the experience, he walked away from the Scotland international team and blanked the media from then on. Featuring contributions from numerous top players, this explosive biography uncovers the real Duncan Ferguson. The author delves into Ferguson's personal and professional life and reveals that there is more to him than the media portrayal of a Scottish hard man.
