Rio Ferdinand has revealed that his dressing room battles with Cristiano Ronaldo got so intense that his ultra-competitive former Manchester United teammate was left on the verge of tears - because he couldn't beat him at table tennis.
The England legend - who is in Australia to promote the anti-abuse social media app WeAre8 - was asked whether it's true that Ronaldo couldn't deal with getting 'smashed' by him at ping pong while they were at Old Trafford.
He was quick to confirm that the story is on the money - and had a good laugh as he described the scenes in the locker room.
