For those who haven't seen it, watch the John Fergusson try in the 1985 cup final. He took a looping pass from Ian Potter (no pace on it at all) from a standing start, shimmied and went around the winger. Sheer class (as Stevo might say).'"
when wigan signed john ferguson it was on the back of brett kenny...
we got brett at the top of his game but everyone was saying ` a john ... who..... ferginson... no ferguson`
brilliant player...... when he recieved the ball from potter in the 85 final if you could pause that moment and get betting odds that he would score william hill would have given you 1-1000 ... not 1000 - 1 he made dane o`hara look like a fool and o`hara at the time was a new zeland test winger and a damn good one at that...
BUT
fergusons second try in the same final was totally unbelievable.
just had his leg strapped up for either a ded leg or hamstring problem.... alex murphy was screaming they should substitute him as he is as useless as a chocolate fireguard and dane o`hara again missed a pass and fergie got the ball and ran as if `what sore leg` and scored.... murphy could not believe it... and me and 97,000 speccies could not as well.....
