MANCHESTER UNITED'S RIO FERDINAND ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT FROM INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL
The defender who has played two World Cups and has 81 caps stated ''After a great deal of thought, I have decided the time is right for me to retire from international football. At the age of 34, I feel it is right for me to stand aside and let the younger players come through, which allows me to concentrate on my club career.
'The team looks in great shape and there is an influx of young, talented players coming through the ranks which bodes well for the future. I regard it as a great honour and a privilege to have represented my country at every level from U17s upwards. I have always been very proud to play for England. I would like to wish Roy and the team all the best for future tournaments.
'A big thank you to all the fans, managers, coaching staff and players that I have worked alongside – the journey has been incredible '
SINGER, ASA ESCAPES CAR ACCIDENT
"I just been in an accident in Nashville. I was crossing an intersection,going for a walk, a car turning didn't see me and boom!! Sent me flying. Thank God I landed on my padded butt. The only thing that got crushed was my water bottle.
The driver wore tiny frames that f'ed up her peripherals. Told her she need jumbo glasses like mine. I'm well just a little wooz.
I feel a little woozy. But everything's fine. Got a ride in a police car and let the driver off with stern warning.
Was in shock for a minute. Paramedics checked my blood pressure. Everything's fine. Thank God I'm alive today. Hope you are well."
Then she plays down the situation, " Trouble sleep yanga wake am. I had on black pants, black jumpers, "Hiphone" is black +I'm Black. How the hell was the lady going to see me."
