Because you weren’t impressionable when he was playing.

You can’t gatekeep which players mean something to Evertonians of different ages. Plenty of people love Dunc.
True. But you can gatekeep who qualifies as a great.

Duncan at his best was a force of nature. His best was about three times a season.

Our 90s were so dreadfully bad that even I am prepared to accept Duncan was a highlight, even with his record.

But that’s still contextual.

We all have our own classification of who qualifies as the greatest players we’ve known and loved.

I take your point that in the long, proud history of Everton FC, Duncan Ferguson wouldn’t be anywhere near the all-time first 11. I happen to think his legend is bigger than the reality also, for what it’s worth.

I also take the point I think @Eggs is making that it’s a shame that fans who idolised Dunc didn’t have someone more successful (or better) to idolise.

But people do idolise him - and I think that deserves, if not agreement, then at least acceptance that they are entitled to think like that.
