Hide AdFerguson was being quizzed by host Simon Ferry about Graeme Souness and his time at Blackburn Rovers, where Souness organised a 5-a-side tournament and “done” Dwight Yorke because the two were not getting on.
While Ferguson called Souness a “tough cookie” he brought it back around to Smith who made Ferguson “s**t” himself.
“Walter Smith was more fierce than him,” he said. “I feared Walter more than I did Souness.”
When asked if he ever answered him back, Ferguson gave a succinct answer.
“I tried once,” he said. “I thought he was going to kill me. Seriously. I s**t myself.”
