Fergie swears on live TV

Just days after Wayne Rooney was slapped with a two-match ban for swearing into a camera, his boss Sir Alex Ferguson was embarrassingly caught doing the same during a press conference.

The Manchester United manager was talking to reporters ahead of the Champions League quarter-final against Chelsea when he was asked about Rio Ferdinand's chances of playing.

The Scot replied: "This b***** wants to play."

Sky Sports News broadcast the press conference live and issued an apology for Ferguson's bad language.
