QPR boss Harry Redknapp believes Rio Ferdinand could be a future UEFA president! After likening the former Manchester United defender to Bobby Moore and Franz Beckenbauer in midweek, Redknapp now says Ferdinand could run the game!

"To be another Platini, that'd be nice for him, why not he's a bright boy and a lovely guy on and off the field.

"He's a class act, smart, a top boy.

"He's got great knowledge of the game and is a great role model came out of a working class south London area and he's made it.

"I've known him since he was 14 and he's a fantastic boy and he hasn't changed a bit as a person, he's just got a bit more experience, he's top class."
