Welcome to Duncan McKenzie's website.

Born 10th June 1950, Grimsby

Duncan will always be remembered as an entertainer both on an off the pitch.

His career in soccer began at Nottingham Forest and when Brian Clough became Leeds United Manager for the famous 44 days, he signed McKenzie for the Elland Road Club. At the time, this was a record signing as he was the most expensive footballer in the country and whilst Forest were £240,000 better off, they lost their most extrovert player.

'Cloughie' left, but Duncan stayed on at a club where he is fondly remembered not only as a player but for his ability to jump over a mini car which he did on the pitch at Leeds, infront of a crowd of 30,000 people!

He went on to become a member of the Everton Hall of Fame and also starred for Anderlecht in Belgium, Blackburn Rovers and Chelsea.

He now broadcasts at Radio Merseyside, writes a column for the Liverpool Echo and is much in demand as an after lunch or dinner speaker.

Duncan will be match day host at Leeds United this season.

His speech ranges from the hilarious recollections of his playing days under the management of the legendary Brian Clough, to his motivational stories drawing from his experiences in the dressing room.

A keen golfer and horse racing fan (ask him to tell you his Lester Piggot story.)

Book Duncan for your event and satisfaction is guaranteed.

“Just a short not to say you did an excellent job on Tuesday night. It's normally the Mrs who talks for that long ! I would have no hesitation in hiring you again.”

Andrew Lee, Alliance & Leicester
