Berbatov on Duncan Ferguson

[dead_soft]

Don’t know how many have taken up subscription to The Athletic (and I’ve still not worked out what I think of it overall - journalism saviour or capitalist rag?) but they interviewed Berbatov about constructing his ultimate player and Ferguson features

Heading – Duncan Ferguson (though I know that’s cheating)

Cristiano Ronaldo was great in the air, so was Alan Shearer. But I will say Duncan Ferguson, even though I never played with him. I would watch Ferguson play for Everton when I was growing up as he pulled and pushed defenders to score. He would go through the defender and I would ask, “Was that a foul? It was surely a foul?” but then the referee would blow the whistle.

Ferguson smashed people with a passion, and that was strangely beautiful to me. Did I hear about him catching the burglars in his home and them needing to go to hospital? Really, you should never break into the house of Duncan Ferguson.

But there is a difference in heading defensively. A defender can clear the ball but not score a goal with his head. I’m sure Ferguson would have been fine in defence, though.

Berbatov is probably still my favourite striker from the premier league era.

Berbatov was involved with the Bulgarian mafia , i guess thats why he finds smashing people with a passion beautiful !

He wasn't.

He got kidnapped at a point but he wasn't involved.

Also he just rose a bit in my eyes, the tit.

Silkiest first touch of any player I've ever seen, live and on TV. Ever, hands down.

Still an absolute knob, however.

Also as a Levski fan, his trip will never not be funny to me:

One of the best footballers I've ever seen live.
