    Found this on http://www.darwinawards.com. Didn't know quite where to put it, here or the humour board. Must check to see if its true


    January 2001) Two men were taken to a Liverpool hospital on Saturday night after trying to burgle the house of pro soccer player Duncan Ferguson. Some years ago Ferguson, who earned the nicknames Drunken Ferguson and Duncan Disorderly, served 6 months in jail for grievous bodily injury to an opponent. This 6’4” kamikaze centre forward is arguably the most violent player in British pro football. The police must have arrived quickly as only one of the would-be burglars required hospitalization

    Found it and its true! FOund it here http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/offtheball/illinformer/week24.shtml and this is what it says:

    Sunday 7th January

    Doos and Don'ts of Burglary Estranged Scottish international Duncan Ferguson is back in the news with a bang. Thieves were foiled in a bid to steal Big Dunc’s doos from his Lancashire home. Like Di Canio, Duncan has turned from convict to crime fighter. The local Plod issued a statement saying that Duncan had behaved "bravely and responsibly" after encountering the intruders in his home. So a first there then.


    Never would have believed it myself.
