He is well "North" of 6 ft. I first saw him playing when he was on 'Loan' to Yeovil where he was signed by Gary Johnson.Gary Bowyer signed him for his current club Blackburn. Ball playing defender but is strong in the tackle and of course in the air.I am informed that he wins a lot of balls in the air in the opponents box so is a threat in this area.

Gave away a penalty today. So no thanks, even if it's crap from the Mirror.

Duffy was very good for the quater of an hour. He won 4 defensive headers(cleared with some distance),blocked a goal bound shot and when Blackburn had a corner he won a header and nodded it down to a team mate. The penalty I feel was "won" by Boyd who just got his leg in front of Duffy, on his blind-side,as he was going to clear the ball. I watched bits of the game after the penalty and Duffy was involved a lot and looked very good and similar to Scott Dann. Ollie's Dad,Ash.

I am told that As a youth, Duffy played Gaelic football for Doire Colmcille CLG and association football for Foyle Harps, both based in Derry. I saw him represent Northern Ireland at under 16 level in the 2007 Victory Shield tournament and impressed Everton manager David Moyes in a performance at Bloomfield Road against England.
