Ferdinand affray trial

West Ham defender Anton Ferdinand is defending something besides his net this week: Ferdinand is standing trial on charges of assault and affray connected to an incident outside a nightclub in October 2006. Ferdinand claims that he acted in self-defense as he feared that his pricey watch, worth £64,000, would be stolen. Lee Bowyer stood trial on similar charges when he was at Leeds United. One of Bowyer's Leeds teammates was Anton's older brother, Rio Ferdinand, who was in court to lend his support. Maybe Bowyer can offer his younger teammate some advice.
