REGARDING Peter White's 'Where Are They Now?' feature on ex-Rovers Mike Ferguson and his "greatest goal ever seen" (LET, April 20).

I played in that game at Aston Villa and the goal sure was a brilliant piece of individualism.

Andy McEvoy and I were making a scissor movement time and again, looking for the ball to be slotted through the middle, but Fergie kept coming forward leaving defender after defender on their backsides.

When it came to the last two, we could not run anywhere and watched him round the keeper and then, turned round and just chuckled.

It also reminded me of the time I sat alongside him in the changing room at Fulham and him saying: "I'm going to turn Jim Langley, the England full back, inside out."

He certainly did, without pace but with a natural dribbler's skill and Jim gave him a good handshake at the end, saying: "Don't let me see you for another year."

When will there be the likes of them again?
