Fergie was on Don Cherry's show and said that he always held back because he thought he's kill someone. Good thing for Ernie an Ted Green and so many others.
He'll be missed in the hockey world but also he was a great man.
@MrEasyLife: I met Eric Nestoreno in Vail and spent a few days skiing with him. He seemed to be a gentleman and I observed no evidence of racism. If you are going to bandy accusations it behooves you to adduce evidence.
i work at blockbuster and john ferguson used to come in. i remember one time i asked him for his autograph and as he wrote it he thanked me. such a nice and modest man.
@tonythetigerII You don't know what you are talking about. In an earlier altercation Ferguson hit Hull, whose own stick caught him in the face and cut him badly. They fought, Fergy won. In the rematch Hull still had a grudge (as he does to this day) and he *already* had a broken jaw yet he ran Ferguson in the corner and high sticked him. Ferguson knocked Hull down and his helmet/cage came off. Fergy skated away. Class.
@MrEasyLife nesterenko is a hopeless spineless racist bitch.. just cause you're a fan doesn't make him a good person... lookup the willie o'ree story sometime if you'd like to hear a different side of mr nesterenko...either way, fuck the both of you... he'll live and die an unapologetic racist bitch
@oehieze First off, you have a lack of command of the English language and your emotions. You should seek some help. Secondly, contrary to what you may think, there is no law that says that everyone must love his "brother". So stop sniveling your way through life crying over every perceived transgression. Man up (for once in your life).
@MrEasyLife What type of man, 50+, sits on youtube insulting people who can't write good english? You know there are some people out there who don't practice the english language as their primary one? I thought age brought wisdom, not stupidity. By the way, your small man argument holds no weight, cause last time I checked, Chris Nilan and Henri Richard (both under 5'9) were ready, and willing, to take on any man, and win.
Ferguson was a tough guy, yes, but there's the story of the time Gordie Howe challenged him to a fight. Howe was spitting ice chips right into Ferguson's face and smiling as he did it. He just kept spitting and smiling and daring Ferguson to fight him. Ferguson didn't accept.
@bashbrannigan I heard about that years ago...Man that would have been a good tilt ...my money would have been on Howe, He could be a nightmare if he had to be
I was there that night about 12 rows up right at the faceoff circle. Fergy did plug him good and by far the best fighter of his time, ask Ted Green and the rest of the 5 teams in the league at the time. He was a big part of the Stanley Cups for Montreal. Eight years 5 Stanley Cups. He even Jean Beliveau a better player by giving him space from other players.
@BJ270848 That is true. Mike Bossy would never have scored as many goals as he did if Clark Gillies was not there to protect him. Gilles and Nystrom were a big part of those 4 cups. Before Bettman made the NHL a pussy game,and with all of these guys from Europe, you needed tough guys to protect your high skilled players.
@littlelouie11 Are you kidding me? Ferguson receive a stick on the head from Nesterenko. It's a cheap shot for the last one and Ferguson is the best fighter of all-time hockey!!!
@tricolore2008 The best fighter of all-time hockey? Wow. Is that the equivalent of being the best dancer of all the NFL quarterbacks? Ferguson was a goon.
Nesterenko just hit Ferguson in the head with his stick. He deserved that beating.

LATER, FERGUSON JUMPED NESTERENKO FROM BEHIND. HE ALSO UPENDED BOBBY HULL WHO BROKE HIS JAW AND PLAYED THE REST OF THE SEASON WITH A FOOTBALL HELMET.
HE ALSO INDTRUCTED TO "TAP" VALERY KHARLAMOV´S KNEE.
DIRTY DOG.
