Rio Ferdinand Song Lyrics

In Peckham's heart, a boy was raised

With dreams that soared, ambitions blazed

An Irish mum, a father's pride

From mixed roots grew a star worldwide

In London's heart, he learned to fly

Gymnastics trained his body high

But football called, he couldn't wait

At West Ham's doors, he sealed his fate

Five-star Rio, defensive ace

Old Trafford's rock with effortless grace

Ferdinand's the name that echoes loud

Making Stretford End forever proud

At Leeds he wore the captain's band

Youngest leader in the land

Then United came knocking at his door

A record fee, they paid once more

He faced the ban, he faced the test

Came back stronger than the rest

Six league titles to his name

He rose above, he won the game

England's rock for eighty-one games

Three World Cups, wrote his name in flames

Euro absence, yet his talent undoubted

National treasure, highly touted

QPR swan song, career's last dance

Pundit's chair, gave fans a new stance

From Ayia Napa to OBE

Rio's journey, football royalty

Five-star Rio, defensive ace

Old Trafford's rock with effortless grace

Ferdinand's the name that echoes loud

Making Stretford End forever proud
