Rio Ferdinand once stated “I always as a kid wanted to do something different,” and he successfully did that while adopting various hairstyles throughout his career. He showed up with his crazy anger appeal for the first time internationally during 2002 FIFA World Cup when he scored for his team against Denmark on the second round match, although some suggested it was Thomas Sorensen’s own goal. His ultra-skinny cornrows in his early career earned him a huge popularity in the media. In June 2006, Ferdinand made his début appearance as a sportscaster in Rio’s World Cup Wind-Ups on the day of the England national team’s opening World Cup group match against Paraguay.
