That was his problem,very little end product. Everybody went on about that run against Stoke,but it led nowhere and he only really held off challenges from a couple of players. And jumping over Minis has very limited application on a football pitch.
He scored two on his Goodison debut against Birmingham. Went through the repertoire and was brilliant. Always went home with a smile on my face after watching Duncan. Having said all this, the man of the match that day was a young Trevor Francis. What a player he was....
We tried our best to sign Francis to pair up with the Latch .......
Bet you're fun at parties Davids, Duncan was the only entertainment on the pitch at that time.
The idea is to win games though isn't it? He had near to 50 games for us he was decent in about a dozen.
He wasn't the sole reason we didn't win as many games, they could have played to his strengths and built a team around him. If he hadn't been in the team you would have only had half the attendance, anyway what's limited edition mini's got to do with it?
Other than his early years at Forest didn't stay that long at any club,there was a reason for that.One trick pony,easily worked out by opponents.He wasn't the sole reason we didn't win as many games, they could have played to his strengths and built a team around him.

He was unlucky at Everton in the fact that Bingham was sacked shortly after signing him and Lee wanted a team without individual flair, I wouldn't say he was a 'one trick' pony Duncan displayed many of his trick's whilst he was here.
I'd agree he was popular,just didn't fit in with the team we had at the time.
Lee got a rough deal in some ways.Was seen as stifling creativity and yet Thomas and Latchford were two of the most exciting players we've had in the modern era.
I remember that Brum game as a kid there was great anticipation about Dunc,he didn't let us down, he was great,I remember my old man who was never a great one for hyperbole telling me it was the nearest he had seen to Alex Young the Golden Vision!!Only other funny thing I remember about that game was a rather amusing song the Gwladys Street were singing to Frank Worthington,aah the days of great characters in the game
