  • Ferdinand is never far from controversy, whether it's on his twitter page with his latest squabbling's with lover Robbie Savage or missing drug tests to save orphans from burning buildings. Rio was questionned on his missing drug test upon carrying 3 orphans, and a packet of rich tea biscuits out of a burning building with him saying "this is a traumatic day, not only have I missed peeing into a cup, I've also left my coffee in there, what am I supposed to dunk my biscuits in now?" He also plays part time for Man Utd.
  • Rio Gavin Ferdinand (born 7 November 1978) , is a perennially injured, incredibly expensive cockney footballer plying his trade in Manchester once a month or sometimes twice, of course being substituted off in the second match after the inevitable groin strain.

abstract
  • Rio Gavin Ferdinand (born 7 November 1978) is an English professional footballer who plays for Queens Park Rangers. He plays as a centre-back. He played 81 times for the England national football team between 1997 and 2011, and has been a member of three FIFA World Cup squads. Ferdinand began his football career playing for various youth teams, finally settling at West Ham United where he progressed through the youth ranks and made his professional Premier League debut in 1996. He became a fan favourite, winning the 'Hammer of the Year award' the following season. He earned his first senior international cap in a match against Cameroon in 1997, setting a record as the youngest defender to play for England at the time. His achievements and footballing potential attracted Leeds United and he transferred to the club for a record-breaking fee of £18 million. He spent two seasons at the club, becoming the team captain in 2001. He joined Manchester United in July 2002 for around £30 million, breaking the transfer fee record once more. He won the Premier League, his first major club honour, in a successful first season at the club. In September 2003, he missed a drugs test and was banned from competition for eight months from January until September 2004, causing him to miss half a Premier League season, Manchester United's FA Cup triumph, and the Euro 2004 international competition. Upon his return, he established himself in the Manchester United first team and received plaudits for his performances, featuring in the PFA Team of the Year four times in five years. More club success followed with another Premier League win in the 2006–07 season and a Premier League and UEFA Champions League double the following year. His career at United, in which he won 6 Premier League titles, ended when his contract expired in 2014, and he subsequently joined Queens Park Rangers. Ferdinand has three children, Lorenz, Tate and Tia, with his wife Rebecca Ellison. He was born into a footballing family: brother Anton Ferdinand is also a centre-back for Thai club Police United, and former England international striker Les Ferdinand and Peterborough United midfielder Kane Ferdinand are his cousins. Off the pitch he is involved with youth charities, film, music, and television including the prank series Rio's World Cup Wind-Ups.

After a spell in rehab he turned his attentions to the toy-industry, a career that spanned one poorly received production "Rio's Footy Wind-Ups", a collection of self propelled toys that never quite caught on. Shortly after this he was arrested on suspicion of contributing inherent awfulness related to his wind-up toys and other drug related charges and spent nine monthes in prision before being bailed out for £30m by a wealthy scotsman named Sir Alexander of Ferguson, who believed that the young Rio still had much to offer the world.
