From Word of Sport:

Biography of a 23 year old with all the problems that suggests. Hard to tell ifi t's authorised or not - Clarkson certainly seems to have spoken to a lot of people and seems well-informed about the upwardly-mobile Rio's motives in leaving West Ham and abandoning Leeds and has Rio's views on his England mates.

From the Publisher:

Few in the history of football have achieved such greatness so young and so fast as Rio Ferdinand. Signed by West Ham at 17 it wasn't long before Rio was selected to represent his country at international level. At 21, he was transferred to Leeds for 18 million, then a record for a defender, where his skill and hard work soon earned him his captaincy. Now he has signed to Manchester United for 30 million and once more broken all records. Rio is ready to take his place amongst the legends of football. This is his incredible story.
