Duncan McKenzie
Duncan will always be remembered as an
entertainer both on an off the pitch.
His career in soccer began at
Nottingham Forest and when Brian Clough became Leeds United Manager for the
famous 44 days, he signed McKenzie for the Elland
Road Club. At the time, this was a record signing as he was the most expensive
footballer in the country and whilst Forest were £240,000 better off, they lost
their most extrovert player.
'Cloughie'
left, but Duncan stayed on at a club where he is fondly remembered not only as
a player but for his ability to jump over a mini car which he did on the pitch
at Leeds, infront of a crowd of 30,000 people!
He went on to become a member of the
Everton Hall of Fame and also starred for Anderlecht
in Belgium, Blackburn Rovers and Chelsea.
He now broadcasts at Radio Merseyside,
writes a column for the Liverpool Echo and is much in demand as an after lunch
or dinner speaker.
A keen golfer and horse racing fan (ask
him to tell you his Lester Piggot story.)
