A MEETING OF MINDS

Last updated : 25 November 2005 By Editor
This weekend sees the Ferdinand bruvvers playing each other. So to commemorate the event the MEN thought it would be nice to interview Rio.

"I used to coach him as a kid on the grass on our estate," Rio told the Manchester Evening News.

"I just hope I didn't do the job too well.

"He is my brother and I want him to play well but I want to win, so I hope he cannot keep Wayne Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy quiet."

"It was always my wish to see my brother make it as a professional after I had gone into the game but you never believe 100% that it can happen," said Ferdinand.

"But I knew he had the talent and he has proved good enough to do it at the top level consistently."

Thrilling
