When Ferguson left Tanadis and joined Rangers for £4m, this step was a measure of his dreams.
He was a roaded boy. He respected Walter Smith coach. The striker, Ali McCois, identified the icon.
Everything became a nightmare. Wildlife’s life, the time of play is not enough, research, problems, memories, horror palaces. And then he went to Maksta.
Smith sat down and told him to leave Glasgow for his own good. The punishment was coming – Barlini wasn’t far away – but in the meantime it needed a new start. He lended to Everton for three months, which became a love.
the: When Walter said you had to go, how did you feel?
DF: I hold my eyes when he said that. I was disappointed. He told me that he would come back after the loan and that he was sure he was real. But I cried. I had failed. I was drinking more difficult. I got out of control.
the: The book is very honest. It is an excellent and attractive reading. You weren’t long in Everton and you’re finished to drink.
DF: That’s true. on myself. The center of the city center. Saturday night. what are you doing? I went to drink, stupidly. We have a game against Liverpool on Monday and I’m outside on Saturday night. nut.
the: This was Joe Roll’s first game as Everton manager?
DF: Yes and I at the police station, 3 am Sunday. Liverpool on Monday. The star is in Nick.
the: There is a good end to that story.
DF: Yes, they allowed me to leave.
the: Well, yes, but you scored?
DF: of course. that’s me, no? That’s me. There is no preparation. in prison. It’s history and the rest is history. I beat me. The second half in particular. You are guilty. That was what I was running on. You are guilty.
the: And you will win the FA Cup? You have scored 73 goals in 273 appearances for Everton in two games that will last ten years. They love you there there. How long it took you to understand Everton – that is the place for me?
DF: About a week. I was in the city once, I didn’t come back. I didn’t remember anything. Someone targeted me. They knew me, but that wasn’t the Celtic stuff. Was that? It is not sectarian. I felt free. And I was a gymnastics. And I get a few minutes.
the: Why does this club have so much meaning to you?
DF: The fans took me to me. There was never any problem outside the pitch, just the drink that had driven the crime. They needed someone like me at the club. The team wasn’t very good. They had a good tradition of Scotland’s great ninth number. I put that mold.
the: They could see the honesty.
DF: I was aggressive. The fans liked it. They wanted someone to get stuck for them. Then it all overturned for me. You will play against Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham. You are playing against several serious teams. He took the best from me. I still love the city. I still live there below. It is a very good place for being.
the: attacker, captain and then manager. Should that be the universe for you?
DF: what feeling it is. It was an incredible moment in my life and my profession. Someone I will never forget. I was the captain of my team, I had scored a lot of goals for the club and then to run them. So I have done everything there, really.
the: You worked in Everton under Carlo Ancelotti and you talk about him shiny.
DF: I was on my husband’s boat in Croatia. Is it right? And Carlo is around his boat. He is on the phone. “I’ll come to see you. “Well, it’s not a problem.
I gave the coordinates and came out of the horizon on this big boat. He has given some truth to that. I saw him moving it. As we approach, the boat is smaller. Our boat was about four times larger than him. He spent the week on my husband’s boat. His boat left. It was really funny, like. A great man. We just tie it.
