Rio: My Decade as a Red - Tapa dura

Over the last decade Rio Ferdinand has earned a reputation as one of the world's leading defenders, playing an integral part in the continued success of Manchester United Football Club. Celebrating his ten years at Old Trafford in "My Decade in Red", readers are taken on a visual journey, primarily through the period since Rio's record breaking transfer from Leeds United. Featuring photographs from Rio's private collection, the book chronicles Rio's seminal moments both on and off the pitch, as well as featuring Rio's own unique insights and those of Sir Alex Ferguson. The views of fellow players and other celebrity friends are incorporated via an interactive function that allows videos to be downloaded into smartphones and tablets. The book is a visual and anecdotal gem.

Rio is arguably the best centre back in the world and is recognised as one of the world's elite players.

Coming up through the youth system at West Ham, Rio joined Leeds for a British transfer record £18m in 2000, and then broke transfer record once again when he moved from Leeds to Man Utd for £30m in 2002.

Since then he has featured in the PFA Team of the Year three times, captained the England national team and won 11 major trophies.
