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.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.That controversial neck-warmer which decidely nesh players across the country have been sporting since the temperatures dropped is, surprisingly, too affected for Rio.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. 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.It would be a dark day at Goodison Park if one of David Moyes' squad 'went there'.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'.
