Rio Ferdinand apologizes for swearing live on TNT Sports prior to Newcastle vs Tottenham

Rio Ferdinand apologizes for swearing on live TV during a quiz with Peter Crouch ahead of Newcastle vs Tottenham match.

Rio Ferdinand found himself in a bit of a pickle when he accidentally swore live on TNT Sports before the Newcastle and Tottenham Premier League match. The former Manchester United icon was participating in a quiz with Peter Crouch, hosted by Jules Breach. The quiz involved naming players who had played for both clubs, with one question leading to some confusion.

Ferdinand and Crouch were asked to name a defender who had won the FA Youth Cup with Leeds in 1997 and went on to make 300 appearances for six different clubs, including one in Spain. After some incorrect guesses, Crouch finally landed on the correct answer - Jonathan Woodgate. In a moment of frustration, Ferdinand let out a swear word, prompting a quick apology from him and some laughter from Crouch.

Social media users were quick to react, with some finding humor in the situation while others were less impressed. Despite the slip-up, the focus soon shifted back to the upcoming match between Tottenham and Newcastle. Tottenham, aiming for a Champions League spot, faced off against Newcastle, who have had a challenging season but remain in contention for a Europa League spot.

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou highlighted Newcastle's struggles this season as a cautionary tale for his team. He emphasized the importance of maintaining consistency and performance, especially if Tottenham were to secure Champions League football. The match was set to be an exciting encounter between two teams with different aspirations for the season.
