Funny Football Picture - Ferdinand and Tevez

Really funny football pictures here of Carlos Tevez and Rio Ferdinand in the Manchester derby game recently. Rio Ferdinand laughed his head off when he saw The Sun's back page yesterday - and joked: "That could be picture of the year!"

 Tevez Chases!

 Tevez Attacks

Now Cough!

Rio was caught in what looked like an eye-watering moment as Carlos Tevez hunted the ball. Rio said: "It's when he fouled me. It certainly looks like foul play doesn't it? It's good for him, not for me so much. He'll be proud of it. He's got one up on me for it."

The defender said the picture has made him the butt of jokes by his Old Trafford teammates. He told fans: "The boys have been having a good laugh about it."

The altercation came during Wednesday's 0-0 draw at Man City's Eastlands stadium. Rio added: "I'm not too sure how it happened. He clipped my ankle, I went down and he fell on top of me." Rio posted our picture on his Twitter page, with the comment: "Wow... some1 get me the photographers address I aint having this!!!! Lol!"

Several sports stars got in touch - former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan writing: "You usually see that Kindof picture on Animal shows... Can't believe he didn't wear some marigolds..."

Rio replied: "haha, what's tevez actually looking for! Nice1.

"Looks like he was trying 2 b a puppet master 4 the night! This pic I have 2 say is a classic no matter how bad it looks!!"
