Duncan Ferguson vs Jaap Stam (Newcastle vs Manchester United) 2000

Big Dunc vs The Dutch Monster

[reconquistalapatria]

Hard fouls, no complainings, no crying, no VAR...I miss these times 😔

[ihussain]

Proper men having a tussle and moving on. That was the football I was growing up watching

You can tell both players enjoyed this by their body language, they relished the challenge of each other. No handbags at the end or arguing with each other. A lot of defenders let Ferguson win headers because he was so strong and aggressive it wasn't worth their time or energy. Stam was a different beast, nobody intimidated him and a superb defender. Good seeing this clip of them both. Strikers didnt wanna face a physical challenge with Stam just as defenders didnt want to with Ferguson

[oddities-whatnot]

Back in the day when footballers were hardmen.

[akhampariya]

People don't realise how strong you've to be to push down Stam down

No unnecessary hairstyle, no shitty dancing, just pure clash.

[albanianking]

Imagine these two against Neymar now he would literally faint lol

[hayyanazam]

Stam was one of the few who could hold their own against Duncan.
World class defender and proper hard man.

[DanDanCOYS]

Duncan Ferguson was one hard bastard. Absolutely fearless and a scary guy.

[jjrj]

Stam always looked like a Mafia hitman!

[WallieTheRed]

Incredible strength from stam. Always had time for big Dunc even tho he scored against us a lot. Especially the ones for Everton. Two physical specimens that could actually play the game also

[andrewmcdonald]

Getting rid of Staam was one of United biggest mistakes - guy was an absolute man mountain & a top defender

[nemofknfish]

I miss Jaap Stam. Strong, tough and very fast! Best defender we ever had in the national team.

[vantheman]

It’s a shame Ferguson didn’t give Vinny Jones a good hiding. Would have paid good money to watch that

[jwill]

Duncan Ferguson was a real striker, absolute menace. Scottish brute power, no pissing about, was a pleasure to watch him at my club.

Everything about this is beautiful to me. Them beautiful oversized kits, jaap staam letting no fucker past him and Duncan Ferguson looking around like he’s locked in a zoo in a whole new planet and he’s just about had enough😂😂 but seriously look how he looks around like he forgets where he is, an actual nut job on the field.

[arotogtech]

Jaap Stam the best ever defender to play for united. Hardman of steel.

[Easy_Now_Star]

The good old days of when football was thoroughly enjoyed!

[waynemarshall]

People just think Ferguson was some crazy Scottish madman who kicked everything in sight. He was actually a good centre forward who earned his big move to Newcastle. Good player

[ReanimatorsMutilations]

Not wrong here at all, Ferguson falls and gets back up straight away and begging for a penalty like today's players is furthest thing from his mind, 2 proper players just fighting for possession
