Rio Ferdinand became the butt of jokes on social media after twice confusing Ashley Young's name for Chelsea legend Ashley Cole's on live TV.
Ally McCoist made same error
WHAT HAPPENED? Ferdinand was on commentary duty at the Merseyside derby for TNT Sports and was charged with analysing Young's red card for two bookable offences. However, he struggled with the task at hand, twice calling Young 'Ashley Cole', despite being his former team-mate at club level, with co-commentator Ally McCoist bizarrely making the same mistake before him. That pair of gaffes inevitably drew the ridicule of social media users, although Ferdinand attempted to own the error with a post of his own.
