From Tribal Football.
Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has been granted an official title by King Akiolu in Nigeria - Chief Fiwagboola.
Ferdinand, 29, is in Lagos promoting education through football and making plans to build an academy.
King Akiolu - who wore an old United shirt with his name on the back and a club scarf - conducted the ceremony at his palace.
And he told the England star that Fiwagboola means 'character maketh wealth'.
This story got me thinking what other ‘Chief’ names could we give to other Players/managers.
Rio Ferdinand: Chief Amnesiawhenitcomestodrug
tests – translates to ‘He who takes the p*ss instead of giving as sample’
Wayne Rooney: Chief Octogenariansarefit – ‘He with a taste for the older woman’
Lee Carsley: Chief sunglareoffslaphead- ‘He who can be used as shaving mirror’
Frank Lampard: Chief Couldchewthelegoffashire
horse-‘ He who must be watched if on picnic’.
Anyway you get the idea, I deliberately left Moyes out to give you some ammo!
