Everton No2 Jones hails impact of Ferguson around Goodison

Everton assistant boss Graeme Jones has hailed the impact made by coach Duncan Ferguson.

Jones has hailed how the Ferguson Factor has galvanised the Blues' training ground.

He told the Liverpool Echo: "I've not been surprised because I didn't know Duncan before [joining Everton] but he is a really humble guy who is down to earth.

"He lets everybody know how important Everton Football Club is to him - he is a true Evertonian. Having that attitude within the Club has to be there and it has to remain.

"Duncan has obviously got an attacking outlook on the game. Duncan has got a passion for technical players and is a creative coach. He puts on some great finishing and passing drills.

"He has assisted the coaching team and definitely played his part in terms of getting the best out of the players.

"He's been a really good addition and has slotted in without any effort."
