Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand admits he ‘got emotional’ when he bumped into Roberto Baggio last week: ‘It was too much…’
Former England international Ferdinand was in Italy last week, when he attended the Derby della Madonnina between Inter and Milan at San Siro.
During his trip to the country, Ferdinand met with one of the most popular Italian football legends, Roberto Baggio, and the encounter really struck with the ex-defender.
“I’ve met all the best players, from my generation and the generation before. I saw Roberto Baggio, and I don’t know what happened, but I got emotional,” Ferdinand said in one of his latest videos.
“There was a little watering of the eyes because it took me back to when I was a kid.
“One of the most revered, loved people where I am from. I don’t know why. I asked him to come on the pod, I begged him.
“I don’t think he even realises how much he’s loved by people like me, my generation. It was emotional, it was too much, it was mad.”
