Ferguson is now 50 years old, but his days as a tearaway forward known by the alliterative nicknames ‘Deadly Dunc’ and ‘Duncan Disorderly’ are still vivid in his mind.
He frightened opponents – just ask Jimmy Bullard – and even his teammates.

Duncan Ferguson Net Worth- How Much Does He Earn?
Duncan Ferguson’s accurate net worth is still yet to be estimated as of 2022. However, it is claimed somewhere to be around $100K-$1M.
Ferguson was dubbed “arguably the biggest waste of money of all” by Jamie Jackson of The Guardian in August 2003, citing his high transfer fees and wages in comparison to his injury record and age.
By that point, he had scored 12 goals in 41 games for Everton over three years, earning more than £5 million in salary. In 2002–03, his 192 minutes as a goalless substitute cost the club £9,000 per minute.
