Football legend Rio Ferdinand reveals that a former Manchester United player was so drunk at a Christmas party that he had to be carried out.

According to Rio Ferdinand, Wes Brown, a former Manchester United player, was known for his humorous drinking habits. During a Christmas party, Brown had a little too much to drink and ended up angering his teammate Roy Keane. In fact, Brown had to be carried out of the party, much to the surprise of Ferdinand and his other teammates.

Brown had been a part of the United family since 1992, when he joined the academy. He went on to make 362 appearances for the club, during which they won numerous titles, including seven Premier League trophies and two Champions League trophies. However, there was one particular incident that Brown would probably prefer to forget - his drunken antics at a Christmas party during Sir Alex Ferguson's reign as manager.

Ferdinand shared the hilarious and somewhat concerning story on his podcast. He recalled how Brown had to be carried out of the party just before midnight, after a day of festivities. "Wes was a funny drinker," Ferdinand said, "I remember Roy Keane had stopped drinking and Wes kept trying to feed him drinks. You know Roy, he was getting annoyed and threatened to pour the drink over Wes' head."

It's no surprise that alcohol and footballers don't always mix well, as Owen Hargreaves pointed out. With games every few days, there's not much time for players to indulge in heavy drinking. "Most of the guys can't really handle it," he said, "especially with a game coming up." Hargreaves also mentioned that players usually have a couple of days off after a game, during which they can let loose and have a few drinks.

Another former United player, Daniel Nardiello, shared a similar story about Sir Alex Ferguson's strict rules when it came to drinking. Nardiello revealed that after drinking a "Wes Brown special" - a triple gin, whiskey, and vodka - Ferguson had threatened to sack him if he ever went out drinking again in Manchester. It just goes to show that even the most successful and famous footballers have to follow the rules set by their manager.
