More quotes by Rio Ferdinand
If we had a starting XI that no one could argue about it wouldn't say a lot for English football. We'd probably be on a downward spiral. It's good that people have different ideas about who should play.
Rio Ferdinand
It was wicked meeting Nelson Mandela.
Rio Ferdinand
Most professional players are their own biggest critics. Some of the things you read in the papers that strike you as bang out of order will already have been thought by the players themselves
Rio Ferdinand
Who were the best players I had ever played against? Raul, Messi, Zidane.
Rio Ferdinand
It doesn't matter whether you're a senior or not, if something needs saying to a colleague it will be said.
Rio Ferdinand
His temperament is always there to be questioned because he plays on the edge. That is just the way he plays. It is a cliche but if you took that edge away from Wayne he wouldn't be the same player and I would rather have the Wayne Rooney we have now.

Rio Ferdinand
It's great to see young players like Kieran coming out and not being intimidated by it. (on Kieran Richardson)

There is a hangover from a defeat like Denmark - ask any player about when they've had a bad game, it's still in there somewhere in the back of your mind.
Rio Ferdinand
It hit me like a thunderbolt!

At times, European football can be very slow but it speeds up in the final third.
Rio Ferdinand
You want to come home from a tournament with a winner's medal. That's not the fans or the media putting us under pressure, that's the pressure we put ourselves under.
Rio Ferdinand
I feel the longer he stays at United the better it is for the club. He's done so much for United you can't imagine him not being here. (on Sir Alex Ferguson)
Rio Ferdinand
He has always been a slippery little git! (on Joe Cole)
Rio Ferdinand
So if u shorten words to get what u want in within 140 characters it makes u a twit?
Rio Ferdinand
If any player has a bad game its there in the back of your mind in the next game. Theres always a hangover. It is like a wounded animal in a way, as you want to get out there as quick as possible and rectify it.
Rio Ferdinand
Football is the most important thing in my life, but I do have a life outside football and this is one part. The TV, the music, the fashion - it all goes to make up Rio Ferdinand.
Rio Ferdinand
Best player? For me, it's Paul Scholes. He'll do ridiculous things in training like say, “You see that tree over there?” - it'll be 40 yards away - “I'm going to hit it”. And he'll do it. Everyone at the club considers him the best.
