From the Publisher:
Rio Ferdinand is one of the world's top defenders. He burst onto the pitch at the age of 17at West Ham and soon represented England. Ferdinand played a pivotal role in the 2002 World Cup campaign, transforming himself into a fully accomplished international star. By the summer of 2002, Manchester United had signed the defender for a world-record fee. Its not always been easy for him - his schoolmate Stephen Lawrence was murdered, then in later years his reputation was blackened by drink-driving shame. In 2004, he faced possible ruin over a missed routine drugs test but he made a successful comeback. his whole amazing story is in this book.
