Former England, Newcastle and QPR star Les Ferdinand saddles up for Prostate Cancer UK’s Football to Amsterdam ride

Former England striker Les Ferdinand will join the biggest ride in football next year, as Prostate Cancer UK’s million-pound cycling event gathers pace.

The Queens Park Rangers legend, who scored with regularity in a career that also took him to Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City and West Ham United, will join Preston North End manager Simon Grayson and ex-England skipper Terry Butcher in the fifth annual Football to Amsterdam ride - in conjunction with the EFL from 9-11 June.

49-year-old Ferdinand, now Director of Football at Loftus Road after a glittering playing career in West London, lost his grandfather to prostate cancer.
