Ex-England, Man U defender Ferdinand hangs up boots
Print Edition
FORMER England and Manchester United center back Rio Ferdinand has announced his retirement, ending a 20-year professional career in which he established himself as one of the top English players of his generation.
The 36-year-old Ferdinand announced his decision on British broadcaster BT Sport yesterday. Ferdinand was absent for the closing stages of his final season in football, with Queens Park Rangers, after his wife died on May 1 following a battle with cancer. Ferdinand became the most expensive English player when he joined United from Leeds for 29.1 million pounds (US$44.5 million) in 2002. He started his professional career at West Ham United in 1995. Ferdinand was released by United last summer after 454 appearances and was signed by QPR.
