Rio Ferdinand debut: as Premier League sub with Frank Lampard

RIO FERDINAND went on to become a hero for Man Utd making the kind of impact we hope to see from new signing Harry Maguire. But did you know Rio Ferdinand was given his Premier League debut by Harry Redknapp for West Ham United against Sheffield Wednesday, after parading the 1996 SE Counties League trophy with his Class of 96 team-mate Frank Lampard. The duo also helped Hammers reach the FA Youth Cup Final that season, beaten by Liverpool in the 2-legged decider.
