Anton Ferdinand (Defender)
Anton Ferdinand
PeckhamPosition: Defender
Born: 18th Feb 1985 (Peckham)
Signed: 14th Dec 2002 (£0)
Contract: Details unknown
Previous Club: Youth Team
Anton Ferdinand is a home-grown talent who rose through the ranks at West Ham in much the same fashion as his elder brother Rio (who still watches Anton whenever he can).
The central defender made his first team debut in the opening game of the 03/04 season - a 2-1 televised win in searing heat at Preston.
The tall defender took a little time to bed into the first team but has since grown in stature, so much so that he now looks at home in the Premiership.
His form in the 04/05 promotion season saw readers of KUMB vote him their Most Improved Player.

MLS AllStars
2-3: Friday, 25th JulyNot at his best, hopefully because he's yet to reach full fitness as opposed to his thoughts being elsewhere.
Aston Villa
2-2: Saturday, 10th MayA welcome return but was made to battle.
Portsmouth
0-1: Tuesday, 8th AprilStill ill at ease in the “senior” centre-back role. At least showed a small bit of willing to get forward from time to time.
Sunderland
1-2: Saturday, 29th MarchBattled away in the air bit it was his 97th minute header that set up the winner. We need Upson back alongside him.
Everton
1-1: Saturday, 22nd MarchMuch better than in recent weeks, good concentration throughout.
Blackburn Rovers
2-1: Monday, 17th MarchStruggles without Upson and was given a torrid time by Santa Cruz & co.

Tottenham Hotspur
0-4: Monday, 10th MarchIt’s all very well playing ok ish for 20-30 minute spells but if you fall asleep and cost two goals to start with you haven’t done your job.
Chelsea
0-4: Saturday, 1st MarchDon’t stick your leg out Anton – you know they’ll dive. His daft moment started the rot.
Fulham
1-0: Saturday, 23rd FebruaryFairly steady though he did have one worrying moment as both he and Upson lost out to McBride & Camara respectively.
Birmingham City
1-1: Saturday, 9th FebruaryAnother fine match. In front of Capello too.
Birmingham City
1-1: Saturday, 9th FebruaryAnother fine match. In front of Capello too.
Wigan Athletic
1-0: Saturday, 2nd FebruaryThe improvement continued. In a game like this you need your central defenders to keep it simple and he did so. The pick of the bunch albeit on a poor day.
Liverpool
1-0: Wednesday, 30th JanuaryExcellent. Has been a revelation since his return from injury/court. Maybe the close shave with the law has taught him a lesson. If so it has been well-learned.

Manchester City
0-1: Wednesday, 16th JanuaryI'd need to see the goal again to comment whether it was Ferdinand or Upson who lost Bianchi. Either way, that lapse aside he gave an otherwise assured performance.
Fulham
2-1: Saturday, 12th JanuaryAnother good run out – again after a dodgy start. Finished the goal well.
Manchester City
0-0: Saturday, 5th JanuaryLucky to escape for his 'foul' on Petrov, he was otherwise assured and produced one moment of outstanding defending.
Manchester City
0-0: Saturday, 5th JanuarySteady enough but that challenge was definitely a penalty whatever Styles says.
Arsenal
0-2: Tuesday, 1st JanuaryAfter an uncertain start he recovered to have a decent game at the back, once he’d started to concentrate on defending.
Manchester United
2-1: Saturday, 29th December(replaced Parker, 55) Fine performance defensively. Cracking goal up front.

Manchester United
2-1: Saturday, 29th December(replaced Parker, 55) Although Spector played well, the defence did look more solid with him there and he took his goal well.
Reading
1-1: Wednesday, 26th DecemberDid not play.
Coventry City
2-1: Tuesday, 30th OctoberBack in the side after recent injury but succumbed to what looked like a hamstring injury late on.
Arsenal
0-1: Friday, 28th SeptemberDoing okay until the injury.
Reading
3-0: Saturday, 1st SeptemberImperious. He was woeful in last year’s 6-0 and scored an own goal. No chance of that yesterday. Lita was in his back pocket.
Reading
3-0: Saturday, 1st SeptemberOutstanding. Just shows what one can do with a bit of concentration and the intelligence to deal with things as simply as possible. Won just about everything against Lita.

Bristol Rovers
2-1: Tuesday, 28th AugustAnother good performance although his lack of concentration, which led to Rovers' goal, could have ultimately cost us dear.
Wigan Athletic
1-1: Saturday, 25th AugustKept Heskey quiet which is why the decision to swap with Upson for the goal was all the more mysterious and annoying.

Wigan Athletic
1-1: Saturday, 25th AugustA good performance from a much-maligned player in recent times. He dealt well with Heskey's strength.
Birmingham City
1-0: Saturday, 18th AugustAnother much better performance – one early lapse in concentration apart he focussed on getting there and getting rid.

Manchester City
0-2: Saturday, 11th AugustSome players have a languid, laid-back style that is deceptive. Not this one. Lost the ball far too many times and seemingly wasn’t too worried too much about getting it back.
Manchester City
0-2: Saturday, 11th AugustPoor. Out of position too often and caught out, while his distribution was careless.

Manchester United
1-0: Sunday, 13th MayAt the risk of repeating myself, he has benefited immensely from Collins’ presence in recent weeks.

Bolton Wanderers
3-1: Saturday, 5th MayBeginning to build a nice partnership with Ginge and coped surprisingly well with the aerial onslaught. Another beneficiary of the arrival of a settled back four line-up.

Middlesbrough
2-0: Saturday, 31st MarchA decent game, apart from when he lost Yakubu late on.
Middlesbrough
2-0: Saturday, 31st MarchA good performance from Anton who appears to be getting back to his best. Made one mistake when he allowed Mark Viduka to wriggle free but that aside it was a competent effort.
Blackburn Rovers
2-1: Saturday, 17th MarchStill one or two questions over his overall defending but a fair performance. Held a high line well along side Collins.

Tottenham Hotspur
3-4: Sunday, 4th MarchAt fault for third goal by giving away a needless free-kick. Mindset is questionable. Are his days at Upton Park are numbered?
Charlton Athletic
0-4: Saturday, 24th FebruaryI missed the third goal. So apparently did he.
Watford
0-1: Saturday, 10th FebruaryHis terrible season continues. A nervous and unsettled was topped off by the poor penalty gift.
Watford
0-1: Saturday, 10th FebruaryLook you’ve seen them diving all over the place why give them the option by trying to pull them back? Tested only the once and found wanting.

Newcastle United
2-2: Saturday, 20th JanuaryWe need Anton to get up to 100% fitness, him and Davenport could really be the best pairing at the back.
Newcastle United
2-2: Saturday, 20th JanuaryObviously not 100% fit - but gave 100% effort until the injury.
Brighton & Hove Albion
3-0: Saturday, 6th JanuaryLooked nervous and shaky. The injury could be a blessing in disguise.
Brighton & Hove Albion
3-0: Saturday, 6th JanuaryWas doing ok prior to the untimely injury.
Portsmouth
1-2: Tuesday, 26th DecemberHas had better days as he found it tough against Kanu.
Fulham
0-0: Saturday, 23rd DecemberExcellent at the back. Kept it simple and coped well despite a tendency for opposition forwards to leave their foot in on him.
Manchester United
1-0: Sunday, 17th DecemberExcellent. Saha was tricky and Anton had his work cut out but he stuck to his task well and wasn’t found wanting.
Everton
0-2: Sunday, 3rd DecemberClearly missed Gabbidon. Very sloppy. Won little in the air.
Everton
0-2: Sunday, 3rd DecemberToo casual today, his game was littered with silly little errors.
Sheffield United
1-0: Saturday, 25th NovemberBattled well and dealt with the route one stuff admirably.

Chelsea
0-1: Saturday, 18th NovemberSolid by Anton, but firmly in the shadow of his centre-back partner.
Chelsea
0-1: Saturday, 18th NovemberAnother solid game against star-studded opposition. Managed to do all that without moaning at the ref. Terry take note.
Chelsea
0-1: Saturday, 18th NovemberA couple of lapses in concentration could have proved costly but for Chelsea's profligacy in front of goal.
Chelsea
0-1: Saturday, 18th NovemberAn imposing performance.
Arsenal
1-0: Monday, 6th NovemberDidn't put a foot wrong before hurting his ankle deflecting an Arsenal shot, and gamely fought on for several minutes before coming off. One hopes the injury won't be too serious.
Arsenal
1-0: Monday, 6th NovemberWas coping well until his injury.
Blackburn Rovers
2-1: Sunday, 29th OctoberBack to his best, calm, assured and inspirational. A definite contender for the captaincy (in the unlikely event that Pardew ever drops Reo-Coker).
Chesterfield
1-2: Tuesday, 24th OctoberNot too bad, struggled to form a solid pairing in the centre with Gabbidon, which only aided the opposition.
Chesterfield
1-2: Tuesday, 24th OctoberOur best defender on the night, it was an assured performance from Anton.
Tottenham Hotspur
0-1: Sunday, 22nd OctoberCoped very well with all that was asked of him. Only thing missing was a last minute equaliser again.
Tottenham Hotspur
0-1: Sunday, 22nd OctoberThe best of the back 4 though might have got a bit closer to Mido for the goal.
Portsmouth
0-2: Sunday, 15th OctoberAllowed Kanu the wrong side for the goal though Poll might have given him a “get out of jail free” card by awarding the foul.
Portsmouth
0-2: Sunday, 15th OctoberUnsurprisingly poor, midweek events all told.
Manchester City
0-2: Saturday, 23rd SeptemberThe shining light in a tepid display.
Manchester City
0-2: Saturday, 23rd SeptemberWe missed him when he went off. Hopefully not too bad an injury.

Newcastle United
0-2: Sunday, 17th SeptemberNot really given a hard time by the opposition. Possibly the least worst of our defenders if I can put it like that.
Newcastle United
0-2: Sunday, 17th SeptemberOne of the better players in a West Ham shirt yesterday, but the failure to shine shows how bad the side were.
Newcastle United
0-2: Sunday, 17th SeptemberNothing outstandingly bad but like the rest of the defence he didn't exactly exude confidence.
Newcastle United
0-2: Sunday, 17th SeptemberGuilty of backing off Martins for the first goal. Guilty of long ball rubbish.
Palermo
0-1: Thursday, 14th SeptemberLook satisfactory defensively, aside from falling asleep on the goal. Had a great chance from a Benayoun corner which he failed to convert.
Palermo
0-1: Thursday, 14th SeptemberPotentially embarrassed by a nutmeg early on he recovered to have a good game.

Aston Villa
1-1: Sunday, 10th SeptemberMixed afternoon; cleared vitally off of the line, but also fell asleep at times.
Aston Villa
1-1: Sunday, 10th SeptemberAnother who recovered from a shaky start. Fortunately the lapses at corners weren’t punished. We may not be as lucky another time.
Liverpool
1-2: Saturday, 26th AugustVery solid performance at the back again. Three games in, and he has been the shining light so far.
Liverpool
1-2: Saturday, 26th AugustA couple of touches aside he had a good game. Wasn’t put out by anything thrown at him.
Watford
1-1: Tuesday, 22nd AugustMust have a bit of a headache from all the headed clearances he made. A couple of shaky spells and that “clearance” could have proved very costly.
Watford
1-1: Tuesday, 22nd AugustAnton struggled tonight against Watford's big strikers, and had Roy Carroll to thank for saving his blushes when he made a hash of a clearance late on in the game. Had a hard time of it as a result of being continuously pressured by the opposition. "Worse than your brother" sang the home fans; not the biggest insult really, when you consider that Rio was one of only two England players to escape with any praise from England's recent World Cup debacle.

Charlton Athletic
3-1: Saturday, 19th AugustAnother quality performance from Ferdinand Jnr when asked upon.
Charlton Athletic
3-1: Saturday, 19th AugustLooked comfortable against the fat Eddie Murphy and thankfully showed no reaction to the hamstring injury that messed up his pre-season.
Charlton Athletic
3-1: Saturday, 19th AugustBoth of West Ham's centre halfs suffered a nervy start but soon got into the groove.
Olympiakos
1-1: Saturday, 12th AugustLooked as composed as he did towards the end of last season. A big season for Anton beckons.
Liverpool
3-3: Saturday, 13th MayNo further comments.
Liverpool
3-3: Saturday, 13th MaySolid and trustworthy at the back and absolutely distraught to be the one whose penalty miss proved oh so costly.
Tottenham Hotspur
2-1: Sunday, 7th MayI must admit that, as well as Ginge has done when he’s played I do like the Anton and Gabbidon pairing in the middle. I expect nton wil be back on the right by Cardiff though.
Liverpool
1-2: Wednesday, 26th AprilOddly he was better in attack than defense tonight. Very shaky against Cisse but went on one of the runs of the season in the second half.
Middlesbrough
1-0: Sunday, 23rd AprilThey targeted him in the absence of much protection from Yossi but he coped quite well.

Charlton Athletic
0-0: Sunday, 2nd AprilComfortable in a right-back position in which, according to AP, he feels less than comfortable. However, there were occasions I felt he could have got forward a bit more.
Manchester United
0-1: Wednesday, 29th March(Replaced Scaloni, 67) Comments to follow.
Bolton Wanderers
2-1: Wednesday, 15th MarchA classy understated performance.
Bolton Wanderers
2-1: Wednesday, 15th MarchStood strong at the heart of the Hammers defence in the face of wave after wave of Bolton attacks.
Bolton Wanderers
1-4: Saturday, 11th MarchNon-existent in the first half as a midfielder and hopefully that will be the end of that experiment. For me, that mistake lies with Pardew. Other than winning a few headers, really had no influence in the midfield. Honestly, he looked lost. I guess the thinking was that since Bolton are dangerous from midfield with Stelios, Nolan, Speed and Okocha, two defensive midfielders were needed. The plan didn’t work. The Bolton midfielders were extremely dangerous and creative and Ferdinand seemed at a loss as to how to stop their flow. Played at centre-back in the second half without any notable mistakes.
Everton
2-2: Saturday, 4th MarchNot his usual confident self and he allowed himself to be dragged out of position far too much.
Everton
2-2: Saturday, 4th MarchLost his rag and his composure. He'll learn a lot today.
Bolton Wanderers
0-0: Saturday, 18th FebruaryVary few errors (bar the odd erratic pass) in a busy game. However he was fortunate not to have been punished for losing Kevin Davis for Bolton's best chance of the first half.
Birmingham City
3-0: Monday, 13th FebruaryAwarded the Barclays Player of the Month award which, unlike the corresponding managerial gong, doesn’t seem to affect the recipient’s performance.
Birmingham City
3-0: Monday, 13th FebruaryAnother competent performance from Ferdinand who started the game by picking up his recent Premiership award as January's Player of the Month.
Sunderland
2-0: Saturday, 4th FebruaryLike the rest of the defence he was able to have a bit of a rest for much of the match.

Arsenal
3-2: Wednesday, 1st FebruaryCampbell could do worse than look at a video of Anton and Gabbidon’s performance in this match. I understand he’ll have plenty of time to watch it. Meanwhile Anton goes from strength to strength – has apparently played in every minute of every league match.
Blackburn Rovers
4-2: Saturday, 28th JanuaryAnother one who might be deemed culpable when backing off for the first goal. Played well after that.

Fulham
2-1: Monday, 23rd JanuaryExcellent in defence and as for that goal……..
Aston Villa
2-1: Saturday, 14th JanuaryDistribution went wrong a couple of times in the first half but a generally solid performance. Always looks at his happiest with Gabbidon as his partner.

1-1: Monday, 26th DecemberAt one point he dragged the ball back to avoid a challenge. Pure quality.
Newcastle United
2-4: Saturday, 17th DecemberKept Shearer fairly quiet. The experience is beginning to show – one bit where Shearer was looking to draw a foul only to find Ferdinand had taken a clever step back was particularly amusing.

Manchester United
1-2: Sunday, 27th NovemberLike Gabbidon, he struggled against the foraging Red forwards although produced the game's most sublime piece of skill when he span on a sixpence in his own six-yard box to wrongfoot Van Nistelrooy.
Tottenham Hotspur
1-1: Sunday, 20th NovemberGood in defence and his goal – if not his celebration – will probably go into Hammers folklore alongside Jimmy Walker’s penalty save at Chelsea last year.

1-0: Saturday, 5th NovemberLike Repka he had one silly moment when he allowed Earnshaw to get a cross in. However he knuckled down after that and had another good match.

Middlesbrough
2-1: Sunday, 23rd OctoberThe partnership with Gabbidon continues to inspire. Saw off Maccarone and even at the end when ‘Boro threw three up he looked comfortable. Harshly booked.
Middlesbrough
2-1: Sunday, 23rd OctoberBooked for a silly foul but his towering headers, clearences, passing and tackling made up for his minor faults.
Manchester City
1-2: Sunday, 16th OctoberAnother who seemed a bit tired out there. Needs to sharpen up a bit.
Manchester City
1-2: Sunday, 16th OctoberA better game than at the Stadium of Light a fortnight ago, although there still appeared to be little defensive cohesion between the back four.
Sunderland
1-1: Saturday, 1st OctoberSeemed to have his mind elsewhere – not as focussed as normal and his distribution seemed to have gone to pot for the evening. An off day.
Sunderland
1-1: Saturday, 1st OctoberHaving began this year like a rock, the real Anton didn’t show up at the Stadium of Light. Just hope he wasn’t out on the jars with Re-Coker the night before. Hurried and scrappy thought, my lasting memory of Anton’s display will be that back pass going out for a corner.
Sunderland
1-1: Saturday, 1st OctoberWhat happened there, part 2? Now I'm sure footballers no longer go out on the piss the night before matches but Anton did a bloody good impression of one who had today. Some of his defending was almost comical at times; attempted back passes being sliced out for corners, clearances completely mis-hit (or kicked up an opponent's arse), passes going astray ... dear oh dear. Still, it would be harsh to criticise too much as he has been outstanding this season prior to today. A blip, for sure.
Arsenal
0-0: Saturday, 24th SeptemberGrowing in stature at the weeks go by and on current form is probably the more valuable of the two Ferdinand brothers.
Arsenal
0-0: Saturday, 24th SeptemberA performance we have grown used to from young Anton. For me, he has showed the same quality and assurance that his older brother Rio did at the same age and we are rightly expecting big things from him. Euro 2008 must be a credible shout. Although it would have been interesting to see how Anton might have coped with an Henry or a Bergkamp, he didn’t put a foot wrong.
Arsenal
0-0: Saturday, 24th SeptemberImpressive. The bloke who discovered both Anton and the other chap drinks in my local and has always maintained that Anton is the better footballer. This statement is beginning to raise fewer eyebrows than it used to.

Fulham
2-1: Saturday, 17th SeptemberFairly solid, thoughhis early failure to get a challenge in on Jensen might have proved costly on another day.
Fulham
2-1: Saturday, 17th SeptemberSolid and determined against some big opponents. Did the simple things, and was rarely beaten in the air.
Aston Villa
4-0: Monday, 12th SeptemberAnother one who seems to have made the transition between Championship and Premiership with few problems. Seems to relish the battle more and more each week.
Bolton Wanderers
1-2: Saturday, 27th AugustAnother superb outing. Apparently he has an elder brother playing for some minor team up north. I wonder if he’s any good? My MOTM.

0-0: Saturday, 20th AugustHello Sven? After last week are you sure you’ve got the right brother? Ok that may be premature but it may not be totally out of the question – ask Shearer.
Newcastle United
0-0: Saturday, 20th AugustAnton has come of age in the last two games, and has proved that he can play on the main stage - just months after some people were questioning his ability to do it at Championship level. Good stuff.
Blackburn Rovers
3-1: Saturday, 13th AugustThe defence had a decent game for the most part – though the marking at corners may need looking at. In the battle against Kuqi and Bellamy Anton did exceedingly well and he is rapidly maturing into the player many observers thought he could be.
