He retired in 2006 after spells with West Ham United, Leicester City, Bolton Wanderers, Reading and Watford. He gained 17 caps for England, scoring 5 goals. A very powerful striker and a consistent scorer, Ferdinand was a threat inside the box. He was gifted with an elegant style, good speed, technique, dribbling, sense of position and great opportunism. His skills made him capable to take the ball in the midfield, bring it forward, resist to the charges from the defenders and reach the goal. Highly effective in 1-on-1 situation in front of the goalkeeper, he had an outstanding finishing ability but his main quality was his heading, always with great timing, combined with a huge leap with which he towered most defenders, hanging in the air waiting for the ball. didn't use this ability just to score but also to provide numerous assists. He possessed an explosive shot and the ability to score first time or from long range.
