A FEW FACTS that maybe you never knew about David Moyes.. 1 Sir Alex Fergusons father worked as a shipbuilder in Govan. David Moyess father was a draughtsman for the same company. 2 As a boy, Ferguson played for a youth team coached by Moyess father. Like Ferguson, Moyes is a graduate of Glasgows Drumchapel Amateurs FC, where his mother washed the team kit and his father was on the board. 3 In 2008 Moyes successfully sued Wayne Rooney and the publisher HarperCollins for libel over comments made in the formers autobiography. 4 In 2001 Moyes was involved in what was called a bar-room brawl with his 6ft 5in goalkeeper, Tepi Moilanen, after poor results on Prestons pre-season tour. 5 Ferguson turned down the chance to hire Moyes as his assistant in 1998, preferring the subsequent England coach Steve McClaren. 6 Despite having only the 10th-highest wage bill in the Premier League, Everton under Moyes have finished eighth or higher every year since 2007. 7 Fergusons retirement means Moyes is the second longest-serving manager in the entire English league system, behind only Arséne Wenger at Arsenal.
