Rio Ferdinand

Rio Ferdinand is a former English defender appreciated for his elegance, speed and the calmness with which he controlled the ball. He established himself at West Ham and Leeds United, then became a fixture in Manchester United's defence. He won the Champions League in 2008. He anticipated the opposition's passes and could start attacks with the ball at his feet, complementing his defensive interventions with reliable build-up play.
