hey maybe old but i found this:

ext messages flew thick and fast between Singapore and England early this week as former Spurs, Newcastle and England striker Les Ferdinand struggled to come to terms with the concept of two new goal-scoring Ferdinands on the Premiership block.

First, Rio rose high to beat Pepe Reina and break Liverpool fans' hearts at Old Trafford. Then, Anton stunned Upton Park, and Fulham, with one of the strikes of the season. It left Rio 3-2 up in the brothers' much-publicised battle to out-score one another this season.

Les watched all this from ESPN STAR Sports' Singapore studios. It was a fortuitous bit of timing by the person who does our guest bookings - a bit like having Sir Bobby Robson sitting, incredulous, in the same studio as Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer started belting each other at St. James' Park.

The Ferdinands - as most people who follow English football know - are cousins. Les explained, though, that they are not as close as some may think.

"I actually didn't know anything about Rio until I was at QPR," he explained. "Our families weren't close."

It was only when Les picked up an injury and had to go back to the club's training ground for treatment on a Sunday that he first met Rio, who was playing for QPR's Under-11s.

"This skinny little kid, half my size, ran up to me and said, 'you're Les Ferdinand, right? Well I'm your cousin. Rio, Rio Ferdinand'. I didn't have a clue what he was talking about to be honest, but then his Dad came up to me and explained it. It turned out that we are second cousins."

Les learned that their grandfathers were brothers who hailed from the Caribbean island of St. Lucia before the family opted for a new life in the United Kingdom.

Anyway, the cousins went their separate ways. With a 12-year age gap between them, there was hardly any common ground and their paths didn't cross until Les was due to play against West Ham a few years later, only to be told he was going to come up against his cousin.

"I showed up there and there was this defender towering over me. I couldn't believe it. From that point on we kept in touch a lot more. You know, following each others' careers and getting into England squads together. We were both in France for the World Cup in 1998 and that's where I met Anton because he came along to watch the World Cup."

"He wasn't always going to be a player, you know. He's a really good singer and dancer - modern dance. In fact, they both are. Did you know Rio was going to be a ballet dancer before he became a footballer?"

Actually, yes. It was one of the more eye-opening revelations of the year 2005 and one which caused much sniggering within the replica-shirt-wearing fraternity when Rio, matter-of-factly announced that he had a grounding in dance.

It's all true. Rio was so good at ballet, in fact, that he was offered a five-year scholarship to the Central School of Ballet. He was a regular performer in school plays, winning a standing ovation for his singing and dancing performance as Fizzy in the musical Bugsy Malone. He was devastated when his rapid physical growth brought an end to his dancing: worried doctors told his parents that his ligaments simply couldn't cope with some of the movements required by the dancing and gymnastics he was doing.

He has since said that he threw himself into his football because he was determined to be famous. His parents were okay with anything that kept him off the troubled streets of Peckham in London. With that in mind, it's not surprising that Rio has his own record label, White Chalk, and that he recently launched an "American Idol" style talent search contest in the Manchester area.

As well as Anton, there are four Ferdinand sisters and a five-year-old brother, Jeremiah, who apparently is already kicking a ball. The sisters, it seems, are more into acting and ballet than sport.

"Rio and I are in touch quite a bit," said Les. "He'll text me after a game and say, 'just played against so-and-so. You should still be playing'.

"I'm pleased to see the way Anton is developing. And I'm pleased to see he is now becoming his own man as it were - that he's not just trying to become Rio Number Two. You know, a while back he was copying everything Rio does, from the hairstyle down to that superstition he has about never stepping on the white line when he runs onto the pitch, jumping over it instead."

Little brother Anton may now be copying big brother Rio's goal-scoring ways but that's absolutely fine with second cousin, Les.

This is why us Aussie football fans are the most dedicated. We stay up every Saturday night until 4am to catch the Euro club games. And when the european or world cups come around, we just don't sleep, period.

I was working night shift at Aussie Post during the 98 World Cup and told my boss that he either let me bring my portable telly into work to watch the games or I would just stay home. He relented, and I got to watch them.
