Rio's New Venture
Tricky winger cannot be out-tricked
Back in January, the world of publishing braced itself for Rio, the digital magazine issued by Rio Ferdinand. The Manchester Utd star’s vanity project has finally arrived - albeit with the slightly less vain title #5 - and it’s chock full of interviews, reviews and adverts for lovely Nike products that will improve your life.
Using the access that his position at Manchester Utd affords him, Rio secures a dull puff piece an interview with 50 Cent (the star of a forthcoming film that he is financing) and three minutes with teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, who shows professional freestyler Jeremy Lynch exactly how quick his feet are.
