Rio Ferdinand: Manchester United legend poses in scanty dressing robe as he shows off his legs for camp Instagram photo
RIO FERDINAND was a rare example of an England defender who put elegance before more earthy qualities.
And now he has taken that stance a step further with an Instagram photo of himself in a scanty robe… offering little protection at the back and plenty of fancy touches elsewhere.
It was high thighs all round as the England and Manchester United legend posed in a relaxing but revealing gown – presumably at the New Camp.

The black and white pattern was controversial enough – but Ferdinand was also brave or maybe brazen enough to wear it in a size way too small.
The TV pundit posted with his pic: “Do’t even try and laugh… the robe is a couple sizes small I know but I rock it, never mind the print!”
Most Instagram responses were favourable.
But mjpadfield72 asked: “What you got on delboy?”
And chris_roughley suggested: “Like a giraffe in a pinnie.”
