Rio Ferdinand and John Terry have traded blows in an ugly debate over Chelsea legend Terry's ranking among the greatest centre-backs in Premier League history.
Former Manchester United defender Ferdinand placed Terry fifth on a recent episode of Between the Lines starring Liverpool 's Virgil van Dijk, with the pundit naming himself, his guest, Jaap Stam and Nemanja Vidic ahead of the Stamford Bridge hero. Terry took to social media to fire back at Ferdinand's selection by boasting about his career achievements, prompting a response from his former England teammate.
"The moment one has to start pushing their own records and stats it's really time to start addressing the fragile ego," Ferdinand, who confidently ranked himself top of the list, tweeted shortly before midnight on Thursday evening. "You're lucky I even put you in the top five after the racism case with my brother so be thankful you made it."
