And in his first media event Ferguson was asked about The Vegans’ meat-free policy alongside eco owner Dale Vince.
Forest Green are an all-vegan football club and Vince offered Ferguson one of their burgers.
The Scot was asked if he has ever had vegan food, and replied awkwardly saying: “I’m looking forward to trying one. I don’t think I have (tried vegan food).
“They look lovely, don’t they? Very nice indeed. I look forward to eating that later!”
Fans were amused by Ferguson’s reaction and his lack of knowledge about veganism.
One wrote: “There’s no way Duncan Ferguson even knows what a vegan is.”
Another added: “Duncan Ferguson learning chips are vegan. This is football heritage.”
A third said: “I’ve always had Ferguson as a raw steak man, not a vegan.”

Another commented: “This is priceless. Duncan Ferguson learning about veganism hehe. Yup, chips are vegan.”
Forest Green have been described by Fifa as the “greenest team in the world” but currently sit bottom of League One.
And Ferguson faces a big task to keep them up after sacked manager Ian Burchnall picked up just five wins in 28 games.
