Manchester United centre back (“I’m bringing centre back, yeeeah!” – sorry..), Rio Ferdinand, seems intent on taking some attention away from his now ex-teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, who recently hit the headlines for tapping Paris Hilton (here).

Here we see Rio Ferdinand on holiday in Israel this week, throwing out one helluva vibe, complete with tank top and bum-line denim shorts.

Quite an interesting vibe, especially for a guy who once famously called someone a “faggot” on air.

Wilfred Ikipedia reports:

In October 2006, Ferdinand caused controversy by calling BBC Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles a ‘faggot’ live on air, just days after team-mate Paul Scholes was also in trouble for an alleged homophobic remark about him being gay with a funny hair do. Moyles jokingly asked Ferdinand: “If you had to, who would you rather go out with – Smudger [Alan Smith] or Scholesy [Paul Scholes]?”. Ferdinand replied: “That is not my bag that, that is not my game, talking about going out with geezers” and when Moyles suggested he would always prefer Smith, Ferdinand declared: “You’re a faggot.” He quickly apologised for what he had said, stating “I’m not homophobic”.

It’s not his bag. It’s not his game. Talking about going out with geezers.

Beautiful!

While on the subject of footballers and, in particular, the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo just got bought for 80 million squid (FACT – here), I thought we would end off with this EuroMillions Lottery humour sent in by Jannie.

I like that.
