Depressed and disoriented, Rio Ferdinand escaped from the scene
of Manchester United's recent defeat at the hands of Arsenal and
drowned his sorrows with West Ham fans in an East London pub.
The former Hammers ace has admitted that he was so down after the
2-1 Emirates defeat that he had to seek the bottom of a pint glass
and he didn't care what anyone thought - even the Irons-daft
locals.
"When you lose against Arsenal it does your head in," the stopper
admitted.
"It was my birthday and I was supposed to be meeting family; it was
meant to be a happy time.
"It wasn't, though. I told my driver to stop off at some pub. He
said ‘I can’t let you go in there,’ because I had my United
tracksuit on in a West Ham area.
"I said, 'Nah, drop me off.' People were looking at me, wondering
what I was doing there, but I just had a couple of drinks, three
packets of crisps...normal things."
No, Rio, that's far from normal...
Like that how to be future captain?
