United defender Rio Ferdinand has
been there, done that and worn the t-shirt when it comes to summer tours
with the Reds, having joined the club 10 years ago. We caught up with
him to fire a few pre-season questions his way...
What's your favourite thing about pre-season tours?Just being able to travel to different countries and getting to see other parts of the world. I love trying new food as well.
Is there one city that stands out from all those you've visited?It's
hard to pick one because there are memorable things about all of them. I
remember Chicago for being up early most mornings and going to the
local coffee shop because the jetlag was so bad! It's probably the worst
jetlag I've ever had - we were waking up at random times in the middle
of the night and would just go for a walk near the hotel. Korea is
another fantastic place to visit, China's enjoyable and I like going to
South Africa.
What's the best tour match you've been involved in?The
game that sticks out is when Ruud [van Nistelrooy] scored an
unbelievable volley at the Giants Stadium in New York against Juventus
[in 2003]. It was a great goal.
What are the three essential items you take on tour?My phone... my iPad for music, movies, games and Skypeing my family... and my PSP Vita.
What are you reading, watching and listening to on tour?I've just finished reading a book called Marching Powder and I'm now reading a similar book, which is about prisons. I'm watching This is England again
after meeting one of the actors - I want to see which role they play.
I'm listening to random songs on my iPad - I downloaded lots of songs
