Greg O'Keeffe: Why you’re unlikely to see snoods any time soon at Everton FC

RIO Ferdinand's bling-bling taste and penchant for cringeworthy prank TV shows suggest he's not the first person you'd expect to hear uttering down-to-earth common sense.[LNB]But the Manchester United centre half did just that, when he used his over-worked Twitter account this week to announce his contempt for snoods.[LNB]That controversial neck-warmer which decidely nesh players across the country have been sporting since the temperatures dropped is, surprisingly, too affected for Rio.[LNB]Even better, the Old Trafford captain insisted nobody at United would be seen dead in one - and his certainty hinted at a decree from on high - possibly Alex Ferguson himself.[LNB] So far, I'm delighted to say, none of the current Everton squad have opted to keep their neck warm in such a preposterous (non) fashion.[LNB]It would be a dark day at Goodison Park if one of David Moyes' squad 'went there'.[LNB]It screams 'look at me, I'm thinking more about the snuggly-wuggly warmth of my precious neck than the ensuing 90 minutes of sweat, mud, blood and glory'.
