Rio! by Wensley Clarkson

Rio! by Wensley Clarkson

Rio Ferdinand is set to take his place amongst the legends of football. He was signed at 17 to West Ham and selected soon afterwards to play internationally. He transferred to Leeds at 21 for 18 million - then a record for a defender - and his skills soon made him a captain. Following his World Cup performance, he was bought by Manchester United for 30 million, once again breaking all records. This biography details the secrets behind this towering talent. It tells of a childhood on the rough streets of Peckham, how the death of classmate Stephen Lawrence affected him, his controversial behaviour in Cyprus and examines the footballing skills that spellbind stadiums.

WENSLEY CLARKSON has investigated numerous crimes across the world for the past thirty years. His research has included prison visits, surveillance operations, police raids and even post mortems.


Clarkson's books - published in more than thirty countries - have sold more than two million copies. He has made numerous documentaries in the UK, US, Australia and Spain and written TV and movie screenplays. His most recent major TV project is Florida-based drama series Boca Grande which he created, developed and wrote with BAFTA award-winning Peaky Blinders director David Caffrey. Clarkson's recent book Sexy Beasts - about the Hatton Garden raid - was nominated for a Crime Writer's Association Dagger award.
