​The classic Merseyside rivalry sparked back to life this week after former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard took a live on-air swipe at Everton, prompting a swift and blunt response from Toffees icon Duncan Ferguson.
​During midweek broadcast coverage discussing stadium naming rights, Gerrard—who famously netted nine Premier League goals against Everton during his playing career—couldn’t resist a cheeky jab at his old cross-city rivals, remarking: “Might call mine Goodison.”
​The sarcastic comment quickly went viral across social media, but Big Dunc was having none of it when asked about his former derby rival’s cheek.
​”Stevie always loved a bit of banter when the cameras were rolling, but he knows as well as anyone what Goodison Park stands for,” Ferguson hit back. “He spent half his career trying to quieten that ground down because he knew how intimidating it was. He can crack all the jokes he wants from a comfortable TV studio, but you can’t buy or mock the soul of a proper football club.”
​Ferguson’s fiery defense of Everton’s historic home has rallied the Blue half of Merseyside, proving that no matter how many years pass, the competitive edge between these two legends remains as sharp as ever.
