A Rio runs through it













While Manchester United continue their march to the Premier League title this year, a shaven-head Rio Ferdinand takes the field and anchors the defense. This isn't the first time that Rio has gone au natural, but it is at the expense of the raw Marley locks that he rocked during the tour of South Africa this summer (see above). But whether he is cornrowed, shaved, or bald, he is still one of the best defenders in the world, despite the rare occasion of a slip up. He has been rock solid for United this year so far, and survived the scare of the metatarsal that has rocked England before. So in the little town of Manchester, one thing is a constant, A Rio always runs through it.

I had no idea you had such a man-crush on Rio Ferdinand, I always thought he looked like a poor-man's Ali G.
