Duncan Ferguson 's playing career featured a number of fiery moments, but that's nothing compared to his reaction when a friend ripped the head off his favourite pigeon.
Former Scotland international Ferguson, now manager of Forest Green Rovers, picked up a record-equalling eight red cards during his Premier League career. Off the field, though, his interests included keeping racing pigeons.
The striker was fond of the birds, as might be expected of someone with that pastime. While there were moments of anger on the field, the 51-year-old has revealed he has never been angrier than when he found out about what his friend had done to his favourite of the lot.
