With his Year 9 gags and hyperactive punditry, it’s easy to forget Rio Ferdinand was a Rolls Royce of a defender.
But off the pitch, the wheels sometimes came off.
He hospitalized beloved stewards, flogged fake Versace to teammates, and starred in sex tapes with Frank Lampard.
From playing in the Premier League drunk to affairs with page 3 models, this is his story…

These days, Liverpool are a well oiled football machine.
But back in the mid-90s, the likes of Robbie Fowler, Jamie Redknapp and Razor Ruddock were the ultimate Premier League playboys.
They dated Page 3 girls, necked 25 pints after matches and pissed themselves to ward off defenders.
From shagging the manager’s daughter to guzzling 212 steak and kidney pies a year, meet the Spice Boys…

With its vapid commercialism and unhinged fans, it’s easy to lose faith in modern football.
But venture beyond the major leagues, and you’ll find the freewheeling chaos that once made it great.
They pick drug lords in midfield, blame ghosts for their sex scandals and sell stars for sausage meat.
Dig out your passport for the weirdest stories in world football…

Leicester Market, 1974. A old lady in a tartan headscarf haggles over a knobbly turnip with two cheeky chappies.
But little does the veg-hunting gran know, one of these young lads will reach the pinnacle of his field, delighting hordes of drunken brits and bedding hundreds of women in the process.
And the other boy? Well, that was Gary Lineker.
From dogging down country lanes to breaking out of prison in a limo, this is the story of the brothers Lineker…

Ryan Giggs was once nestled snugly between David Attenbrough and Sir Trevor McDonald in the pantheon of national treasures.
But in the space of six short weeks, it all came crumbling down.
As Fergie’s golden boy was unmasked as Britain's dirtiest dog.
Looking back, the clues had been there all along.
From petrol bombs through the letterbox to black eyes at the treble party, this is the story of the Welsh Wanderer…

With his cane, monocle and cut glass accent, Chris Eubank isn’t your typical boxer.
But he wasn’t always the fruity aristocrat you see today.
He had knife fights at dominos tournaments, went on two day police chases, and raided an arcade for 20,000 10p coins.
From poisoned chow meins to watching his own circumcision, this is the story of Britain’s weirdest world champion…
