Being overlooked for the England captaincy against Trinidad and Tobago has not stopped Rio Ferdinand dreaming of landing the job on a permanent basis.
David Beckham is the latest protagonist in Fabio Capello’s open auditons for the captaincy, the fourth man to be given the role in as many games.
Many viewed Ferdinand’s inclusion for the trip to the Caribbean as a sign that the Manchester United man is favourite to be handed the armband full-time once Capello finally gets round to making a decision.
"Who wouldn't want to be captain of their country? There are four or five of us vying to become that," Ferdinand said in the Manchester Evening News.
"You can't put it into words what kind of achievement it would be to be at Wembley every game leading out the team and all over the world. It's something you dream about.
"It's down to the manager, he has said he will make his decision next season so we will all be waiting to hear what he has to say.
"This team will do a lot more in the future and will have a lot more success if we had 11 captains on the pitch.
"Whoever gets the responsibility of being captain, it will be a proud moment for him and his family and all the lads will get behind it." |
