As a fellow countryman, and someone who grew up watching him make his debut and spend 20 odd years at the club, it pains me to see all this. He was doing a cracking job with the National team too. Its crazy that someone with such an immaculate playing career can be such a troubled character off the pitch, I mean it's not like he was acting like Joey Barton or something. His dad's partner was a work colleague of my mum, the tales she used to come out with, it sounded like the script for a hollyoaks episode, I always dismissed it as sour grapes as he disowned his dad and ditched his surname, but it seems Fergie was the master at keeping things under wraps and away from the public eye.
