Old Trafford Teammates Tackle Tale…
When Rio Ferdinand and Nani reunited for a stroll down memory lane on the iconic Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast, we expected banter, but not a tickle fight with history’s funny bone! Picture this: a chilled-out chat turning into a comedic courtroom with footy anecdotes all over the place! Ah, the golden era of Manchester United — these lads together snagged awards like squirrels at an acorn convention.
Top of the bill was the tale of Nani’s fabled waterworks during a monstrous tackle from Liverpool’s Jamie Carragher, at Anfield (or as Nani might call it, “the crying room”). Our main man Rio decided to revive this iconic image, swapping jokes like it was the transfer window! Their WhatsApp group banter reads like a comedy script — apparently, even Ashley Young joined the giggles, asking with the innocence of a curious toddler, “Why did Nani cry?”
Patrice Evra even popped out of nowhere with tales from the trenches! He reminisces on their teammate Scholes’ knight-in-shining-armor moment that day, wanting to go medieval on those Reds. Apparently, Sir Alex Ferguson was Hulk-ing out like a football version, ready to huff, puff, and blow stadiums down. But in the end, despite the tears and fiery vibes, Nani’s legacy includes all the glories and gags at that magical Theatre of Dreams.
