It is also hard to dislike Duncan Disorderly.

It's not so hard if you're not too enamoured with violent, cowardly scumbags:

"Ferguson has had four convictions for assault – two arising from taxi rank scuffles, one an altercation with a fisherman in an Anstruther pub, and one for his on-field headbutt on Raith Rovers defender John McStay in 1994 while playing for Rangers, which resulted in a rare conviction for an on-the-field incident.

The first incident led to a £100 fine for headbutting a policeman and a £25 fine for a Breach of the Peace,while the second resulted in a £200 fine for punching and kicking a supporter on crutches. He was sentenced to a year's probation for the third offence. For the 1994 on-the-field headbutting, he received and served a three-month jail term for assault."

I seem to recall reading that not only was the fisherman middle-aged, but was also disabled.

There are dozens of examples of players who grew up supporting one of the teams but played for the other.

I'd say for 90% of players it doesn't matter and they'd sign for either side if the offer was right.

John Hartson was a failed medical away from being a Rangers man

Dalglish being the most obvious example. Think he actually lived almost right beside Ibrox

Bill O'Herlihy: Ah ye can't be saying that now Eamonn

It is incredibly for me to dislike anyone who headbutts a policeman. I would normally buy them a pint.

So the next time you're in trouble, instead of dialling 999, no doubt you'll phone Everton and ask to be put through to Ferguson then?

Probably for the best, what with that 'ACAB' tattoo on your knuckles...

There's no situation I would call the police

I imagine that will be as much a relief to them as for you!

But still, you're probably right, ACAB, including eg this one:

Grew up a Rangers supporter but you'd never have known it, was always scrupulously fair

Roddy Forsyth another Rangers man for whom professionalism and fairness was always paramount

Commentators and football journalists like these are badly needed in this age of media super fandom
