Rio Ferdinand had some time to kill on the train to Liverpool for tonight’s Europa League game, so he decided to hold a Twitter Q&A.

Top photobombing by the nervous-looking man in the background, by the way.
The questions the former Manchester United defender answered were the usual mix of best football memories, who’s the best defender in the world and what do you miss about playing…
The ones he didn’t answer, though, were far more interesting.

Surely the award for the best line of questioning, though, has to go to Gaz Drinkwater, who had one query he really, really wanted answering.
Please tell me why before every home game you ran to my corner and tugged on your willy. Seriously, without fail @rioferdy5 #AskRio

Not even making a stupid joke here. Every single game you ran to the North Stand/Stretford End corner and tugged it. #AskRio @rioferdy5

No answer, sadly.
