NAME: Alan Ferguson
BIRTHPLACE: Sunny Aberdeen, SCOTLAND.
PREVIOUS CLUBS: Played rugby so this my first footy club, what a way to pop your cherry!
CHILDHOOD CRUSH: Weirdly Susan Tully in Grange Hill but also Debby Harry, Blondie.
FAVOURITE PROFESSIONAL PLAYER OF ALL TIME: Gavin Hastings (T&Cs did not stipulate it had to be footy)
FAVOURITE BROWNS CLUB PLAYER AND WHY: Great welcome to the club almost 2 years ago and a great bunch of guys. Hard to pick a fav so I won’t.
MOST DIFFICULT BROWNS CLUB OPPONENT: As I tend to be shoved at the back most interaction is with the forwards and midfielders. One Legged Jeff, Running Rod, and Andy Long Legs are tough to defend against but Drummer Gary has quick feet.
MOST MEMORABLE MATCH: Scotland beating England in 1967. Maybe not totally following the rules here but come on…
BIGGEST THRILL: Scoring 3 goals in one day at Browns not long after starting. Not sure I have scored on purpose since then. Couple of OGs though.
JOHN LENNON OR PAUL MCARTNEY: McCartney. He has done so much since the Beatles but I guess Lennon did not have the same opportunity.
BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT: Got to be Scotland going out of the Euros. Took me a minute to get my head round it even though I had the usual expectation of last minute failure.
BEST COUNTRY VISITED: Recently went to a remote area of the East coast of India for work. Not at all picturesque but the food was enough to make me want to live there. Not sure Angie would appreciate that though.
FAVOURITE FOOD: That’s easy now. Food on the East coast of India ![]()
FAVOURITE PORTUGUESE FOOD: Chicken Piri Piri but only when they get a bit of kick in the sauce. Wow.
FAVOURITE DRINK: Adega De Borba vino branco. 2.89 in Makro at its most expensive (yes I am a Jock). And the Portuguese beers ![]()
MISCELLANEOUS LIKES: Quiet flights. Driving here out of tourist season. Day drinking.
MISCELLANEOUS DISLIKES: Busy flights. The 125 in tourist season. Cut infront of me on the road at your peril. Coffee and anything coffee flavoured
FAVOURITE TV SHOW: Big Bang Theory mainly because of Penny. If you know you know.
FAVOURITE FILM: Like a bit if comedy – Blazing Sadles, Monty Python Life of Brian and Holy Grail.
FAVOURITE SINGER: Was a bit of a rocker so AC/DC, Whitesnake, Meat Loaf (but I know I canna sing like him).
FAVOURITE ACTOR: Jennifer Anniston. Wow. Just wow and improving with age!
BIGGEST INFLUENCE ON CAREER: Probably my dad as he taught me a strong work ethic. That prepared me for the big bad world.
BIGGEST DRAG IN SOCCER: VAR and
referee decision (not in our club obviously)
WHAT ONE ITEM WOULD YOU TAKE WITH YOU TO A DESERT ISLAND Jennifer Anniston. If u could take two I would bring a spare Jennifer Anniston in case I lost the first one.
WHICH PERSON IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO MEET: Prob Margaret Thatcher but not to take to my desert island. Respected her and really disliked her at the same time so would love to understand what was going on in that head.
