Rio Ferdinand On Anderson's Bizarre Contributions To Ex-United Players' WhatsApp Group

The realms of the Whatsapp Group and football have intersected a bit of late.

Last year, Luca Toni told us of perhaps the coolest WhatsApp group in existence: the 2006 World Cup-winning Italian squad. What a gang of lads!

On a tangential football/WhatsApp note, perhaps the pithiest summary of Cristiano Ronaldo came from journalist Tom Williams.

And to stray briefly into important, public service journalism, we dug up the Irish WhatsApp group from Saipan.

Delightfully, last night we were furnished with further details of a group to rival the Italian one: a Man United WhatsApp group featuring a bunch of former players who played under Alex Ferguson toward the end of his management career. Rio Ferdinand spilled the details on BT Sport last night. The broadcaster are keeping faith with their show Premier League Tonight in which they take viewers' questions through the medium of the video selfie.

These rarely offer anything of interest, but last night's bucked the trend. One 'Boro fan asked Ferdinand who was Ferguson's favourite player at United, and in revealing it was Darren Fletcher, Ferdinand spilled the details of the existence of the WhatsApp group.

He refused to be drawn on many of the names, but did reveal that Anderson chips in with the odd, unintelligible contribution.

Glorious. We assume Roy Keane isn't there, but if he is there, his reaction to Anderson's random emojis is the kind of editorial direction Gogglebox should be taking.

We'd love to see what the conversation was like after Ferdinand peeled back the lid last night.
