Fair enough, it was actually the dockers who wore wools on their backs when unloading the cargo off the ships on the dock because it was so cold, hence the name woolybacks, unfortunately it’s been used as some kind of slur these days for people not from Liverpool, most probably as a joke but I’ve never really understood it tbh.

Anyway back on topic, big dunc is a legend, love him just for how much he hated Liverpool.

It's not brilliant, Moyes was absolutely right to be fuming at him. Only on the pitch 8 minutes before getting himself sent off needlessly. He was sent on to try and nick us a winner and instead caused for us to have to cling on for a draw.

I like Watson but him revealing that all the players found it funny shows what an awful mentality the team had. No one there demanded any standards from anyone else and they obviously weren't serious about winning games of football.

Ferguson is an Everton icon but only because of his special goals and passion for the club. People who lionise him just for being a hard case are indicative of why the club has achieved nothing for decades.

The defenders he roughed up thought he was a right Cult :lol:- I will always remember a defender guarding the ball going out for a goal kick, down by the Gwladys street church corner flag & Dunc was trying to get his foot on the ball & he was being obstructed as they do & he just picked him up under his crotch & flung him over the line :lol:

Not sure it’s quite that definitive, there are a few origin stories that involve folk from lancs making deliveries too.

What do you think counts as a 'wool'?
