He was bought for a record-breaking fee as a player
Fergie’s playing career was impressive – he made over 300 appearances for a range of reputable clubs during it. As such, he attracted big-money bids for his services.
In 1967, while playing for Dunfermline, Ferguson was the subject of a £65,000 from a fellow club in Scotland – at the time, it was a record-breaking transfer fee between two Scottish clubs.
He completely merited such a price – at Dunfermline, Fergie scored a total of 66 goals in 89 league games.
