I was never really a fan of Rio Ferdinand thinking he was a bit of an idiot (forgetting a drug test because he was moving house, for example).
However he has just 100% redeemed himself with this excellent swipe at FIFA's pathetic £15,000 fine of Croatia. He even speaks out against homophobic abuse, which is probably the least mentioned prejudice still heard on the terraces.
Football needs more players to speak out like this. Good on you, Rio. You've won me over totally.
