Man Utd hire SAS guards for Rio's Leeds return

Manchester United will hire six former SAS soldiers to guard Rio Ferdinand for his return to Elland Road on Saturday.
Leeds United striker Alan Smith says his good mate will get "a hammering" from supporters on Saturday.

The ex-SAS men will be on the Manchester United coach as well as at the pitch's edge during the game in an effort to ward off any trouble.

if you are watching on tv, listen for the "Die Die Rio F***ing Die" song. Its pure quality

[BrianCappellieri]

Thanks for the heads up on that.

I'll make sure to have the speakers on.
