Rio Ferdinand has admitted that he was a nervous wreck during his first proper meeting with legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
Ferdinand, who is the latest inductee to the Premier League Hall of Fame, clocked up over 450 appearances and won six Premier League titles after moving to Old Trafford from Leeds United in a £30million deal back in 2002.
The 44-year-old, who became the most expensive British defender in history at the time, was a mainstay in the Manchester United side that dominated domestically under the guidance of Ferguson. And Ferdinand has paid tribute to the main main after joining his old boss in the Hall of Fame.
