Rio Ferdinand

I bet it'll be done as a TV documentary and he'll actually box for three rounds against boxing's equivalent of Larry Grayson

Yes, its the sequel to the Flintoff reality programme.

Ha ha what a ****. Can't do anymore damage to that ugly kite.

Reads as Rio Ferdinand desperately wants attention and the media scrum/money that will follow.

Yep, first thing I thought. BBC Salford will have the contract for a three part doc typed up as we speak.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Match made in heaven - his ego/retirement/mid life crisis need for the spotlight + fans eager to see him punched in the face, etc.
To get to the top in major sport you need a certain drive - which he's probably got.
However, he's got the general engine but will it be the right type of fitness? And age is against him, especially in a vombat sport as intense as boxing.
Add to this his kids - given the loss of their mother, not sure if it's wise for him to risk his health to such a degree.

So what will be his nom de guerre?
Wipper?

He needs to learn how to be a professional human first
