Everton fans loved what manager Duncan Ferguson wore during his side’s 3-1 win against Chelsea.
The Toffees legend made his debut in the Goodison Park dugout last Saturday after Marco Silva was sacked following the Blues’ 5-2 defeat against hated neighbours Liverpool at Anfield.

Ferguson is taking temporary charge of the first team while the Everton board search for a permanent manager.
The Scotsman wore an accessory that the Gwladys Street faithful appreciated:
⌚️ | This is class.
The great Howard Kendall was with Big Dunc in the dugout on Saturday. 💙 #EFC

Ferguson sported the watch of the late Howard Kendall, who managed the club during the club’s most successful period, not forgetting the glorious side of 1986.
The watch was presented to him by the late manager’s wife on the morning of the match, and she told talkSPORT that both men had a relationship that not many people knew much about.
Supporters adored the touching tribute that Ferguson paid during his first game in charge and made their feelings clear on social media.
Here you will find some of the best comments from Everton fans:
A nice touch. Timely reminder to what it is needed on & off the pitch for the Blues 💙
