Barry: I wasn't a Blackburn flop

Ferguson made the switch from Rangers to Rovers in 2003 before deciding to move back to Ibrox for a second spell two years later.He was handicapped by a knee injury but is adamant he made a telling contribution when fit and skippered the side under Graeme Souness and Mark Hughes.Ahead of Wednesday's Premier League clash between Rovers and Blues, Ferguson, a strong candidate to be Birmingham's player of the year, said: "I was captain at Blackburn. I don't know why people have the perception that it didn't go well for me there."Maybe it was because I was injured. I had a bad knee injury but I came back and, when Graeme Souness left, Mark Hughes came in and I was still captain."I enjoyed my time at Blackburn and I thought I played well. I think if you asked Blackburn fans then they would agree."I think I gave everything I had and I made a lot of good friends as well."Ferguson admits he may have made a mistake returning to Rangers but balances that view with the fact he won more trophies with the Scottish giants.He said: "Rangers came back in for me and my heart led me back up the road whereas, if I look back, maybe I should have stayed down in England."People ask me that question quite a lot - 'do you think you should have stayed down here?' - but what happens in life, happens."I don't regret any single thing I've done in football terms."But, maybe when I finish playing, I'll look back and say 'maybe I was a bit stupid to go back up to Scotland'."I went back up the road to Ibrox and I won more trophies so you can look at it in a lot of different ways."
