Before David Beckham was a fashion mogul and before he married one of the Spice Girls, he was a talented youngster working up the ladder at Manchester United and the England National Team. Even before he came to America to save soccer in the States, he was just a player, not yet a household name and a global brand.

If Duncan Ferguson had played in 2015, he surely would have been a $100 million dollar man. He did after all break the British transfer record in 1993, earning a £4 million switch to Rangers. He seemed to have the world at his fingertips; he was on the verge of something big. Unfortunately things didn’t turn out as anyone planned.
