Anyone read Duncs book yet?

He was our primary goal scorer and he contributed a single inconsequential 4th goal in a 5-0 victiiry over Norwich.

You said contribution, not goal contribution - we might not have got to the cup final without his motm CONTRIBUTION in the quarter final

That show with Gary Neville, Jill Scott, Roy Keane and Ian Wright was embarrassing, Whilst Duncan was engaging, the first half an hour went through each one of his red cards which about sums up his career.

I enjoyed it myself mate. Think the red card stuff is just a laugh isn't it, especially with Roy Keane as part of the conversation. When you're saying "sums up his career" he literally talks about his regrets, how he wishes he could stop his younger self from being a divvy and achieve more in football because he knows he could have been more.

Thought it was an honest account.

Don’t get me wrong I really liked him on it, he’s seems a genuinely engaging fella….it was just that bit, I felt was a bit of a shame. All that talent and essentially doing nothing with it apart from the odd flash.
 

Dunc was a big hero of mine as a 90s teenager, part of the mystery being he never gave interviews and was before the internet/social media

I'm about half way through and you get the sense he was a kind hearted lad but was easily influenced and liked a drink, not afraid to stand up for others and that ultimately led to his jail

There is a theme of a sense of injustice against authority punishing him, from Jim McLean, to the SFA and then to Moyes but it thinks the older he got the more he regretted some of that, he says a few times he was a young daft lad

The thug/hard man image really came about more in his second spell when injuries took their toll more and more and he obviously had a hot headed side that would lash out/see the red mist

The biggest problem with Dunc was his attitude at times in matches of less importance. I'll never forget his can't be arsed to get involved attitude in the League Cup tie away at Coventry in the late 90s watching him strolling around the pitch whilst we were getting rinsed 4-1
