One thing that drew me and my mates to Ferguson was his size and how he could get up and head a ball. We hadn't really seen anyone with that physical presence and how he could head a ball was something else. The Derby goal in 94 was the one that...
Imho Duncan straddles the line between cult hero and club legend. The goals and trophies don't hit the requirements. The length of stay, how he speaks about Everton, the fact he has had a couple of spells as caretaker manager and most importantly...
Dunc was the bench in 95 if my memory is right - he came on early enough in the second half - i think it was something to do with fitness at the time and to be fair Rideout and the team were in decent form.
The reason people love Dunc is why...
I get that view, I really do, but he was a focal point for a lot of kids who never had much else at the club to idolise. He may not be a legend performance wise, but I think he is an idol. Somebody who you know loves Everton like we do.

I get bloated similar to. Like a two hour buffer that stops the lager intake. A load of pints first sometimes works, but the curry house is a dangerous place when you're in deep and suddenly a load more pints and double mains and double sundries...

Seeing us score 7 in a game for the first time, against Southampton in 96
Winning a penalty shootout against United in the 2009 semi, see us lose loads on pens and feared the worst when Timmy ballooned the first but then Ferdinand and Berbatov...
As a kid going to my very first game with a seat in the top tier of the main stand; a sunny Saturday afternoon, the grass looked so green, the stand so steep and the ground was beautiful. I'd never seen anything like it.
2013-14 season.
Roberton Martinez's first season.
We finished 5th on 72 points, which would have us sitting in 2nd this season for comparison.
Lukaku, Deulofeu, Barkley & Mirallas all on fire with Barry & McCarthy looking like shrewd...
The season we finished 4th. 2004/05
The club was all doom and gloom after Rooney's departure and the players we'd signed didn't seem like good additions at the time.
We'd lost Gravesen in that bizarre move to Real Madrid as well.
