Armitage on Big Dunc

I could write an article as long as Rob Fox about the burglar-battering, pigeon-fancying, FA Cup-winning, Kraut-smacking, drunken disorderly ex-con legend that is our Number 9. He is as much a myth as a real man; we’ve all heard stories about him that couldn’t possibly be true, but most of them probably are. His autobiography would be a corker but what are the chances of him writing one?
There aren’t many high-profile players like him who won’t talk to the media; some supporters felt let down by that but if you want to hear what he’s got to say just turn up to the match early and ask him. He’ll bend over backwards for the real fans but you never read that in the Echo.
I don't know what Duncan means to non-Evertonians - perhaps they only seen the missed potential, the injuries, and the media generated myth. They'll probably never realise the nuances of this complex and ambiguous hero. Because who's going to tell them about him?
