"I Was Going Through A Dark Time In Life" | Exclusive Clip | Rio Ferdinand's Tipping Point

[@siyanhall3142]

Every year when Rio feels bored he talks about Ravel. Brother just observed and never reached out back then.

[@zccau2316]

I feel thats unfair. I think he did but Ravel was in such a bad place back then, any reaching out he would push back at you. What more can one do if someone rejects your hehlp? U cannot force them. Its really good to see him maturing now though

[@siyanhall3142]

@@zccau2316 He never said so when the anniversary to talk about Ravel comes. Some people like to make their money money and just observe.

"dark times" is footballer talk for "my behaviour was terrible, I was a reprehensible sub-human getting done for witness intimidation but instead of just owning up to it I'm going to say it's mental health and I was just a victim, the money has run out and now I'm doing this podcast just to keep the aston martin topped up for another week"

All I know am happy to have him in Jamaica team right now he is the man in the middle

The issues weren't bad enough to throw away his talent. People go through way worst issues every day, and no one's problems are more worst or important than the other, but when given an opportunity to come out of that and to throw it away is an insult the millions that don't have that chance

[@ThatGuy-tx4vm]

Which leads us to the truth... The "issues" didn't cause this. Others didn't do it to him. He was simply a bad man and if he wasn't famous he would have been in prison way earlier. Scumbags with football talent are still scumbags. Wish the worst for him so that the innocent people that suffered his presence are avenged.

[@pacyguy7144]

So sad I go through this myself, but still managed to finish top scorer of my football team, hopefully ravel has gotten better and I will too

[@CEO786]

It happens to a lot of us but I managed to get 6 UCL’s in the bag.

It can be really tough, and there are some seriously dark days, but I managed to do a threepeat of Balon d'Ors myself. Hope I'll be better soon. Lol all joking aside, hope you're doing alright OP.

He is the best talent I've ever seen. Unreal natural talent

[@CraigVernon]

Everyone goes through a dark time at some point, no need to make a song and dance about it.

[@mahboobhussain2312]

Great talent he needed help didn't get it hope he helps rest of young ones

[@cchan824]

He had money, had numerous managers, clubs and you are saying none of them try to help him.

[@wunwun8875]

He did need help. A lot of reasons why he ended up where he did. Some his fault, some the fault of others, some bad luck and just his circumstances and adhd. In the end, you can only look at yourself and what you did. He will have some regrets. Hes still an unbelievable talent and when he plays for Jamaica, its clear to see. We call him Lord Ravel. He plays with Premier league players for Jamaica and none of them look better than him.

[@mnb9162]

The problem is if you show any weakness then you may think the manager will have that in the back of his mind when selecting a team... Naturally he probably will

[@MarceloAlahid-vm3if]

If Lingard can cut into 1st team for long years i bet Morrison can be an icon

[@James1-9-7-8]

This is a good lesson for anyone who wants to be a pro athlete: the battle is as much mental as anything else…you got to get your head straight! Guess, you’ve either got it or you ain’t. Talent aside, I definitely didn’t have it when younger. Way too sensitive!

[@funkyrodent66]

is this story still rambling on...if he was good enough he would have made it. He has made it too, he is a pro and a millionaire. There has been loads of successful bad boy players who have made it.... i don't get the obsession

Rio, if you saw a troubled boy back then why didn't you reach out...

He did, he even had Ravel staying with him at home for a while. There is only so much people can do

[@Ivv93]

Who says he didn’t?

[@Logancoreyphoebe]

He had own career to do aswell

[@enochbaffour3153]

It's difficult. Men don't usually reach out especially in the time they were playing. Also ravel wasn't ready for help. I wouldn't blame him as there were plenty of people closer to Ravel who should have stepped up.

[@kb8729]

Very sad that we lost Ravel as a huge talent he was the Bellingham we see now.

[@PHILDEBEAST]

While being a complete dick.

[@axecx2465]

He’s was better

[@paulberesford9360]

From the limited video footage that is available of Ravel Morrison, I would argue that he was far more naturally talented than Bellingham.

[@thebizness5596]

Miles clear of Bellingham as a talent

[@dylanlawrenceholland3295]

seems mature now

[@paulberesford9360]

How sad that someone with such obvious natural talent should fail to realise even a fraction of his full potential.

[@jhonma5122]

Football is a team game. I don't think he would have made it as a team player. Everything I've seen about him is solo. He wasn't good enough!!!!!

[@priscillaquayesah-hd5kc]

If Manchester united had helped this lad, they would have been a hard team to deal with... Messi had issues Barca helped Ravel had issues Man u abandoned him... Two different clubs

[@TheTruthiest]

What issues did Messi have? Maybe I'm not aware, but don't recall anything on the level of what Ravel has
