We love nothing more than when sporting legends meet sporting legends.
Waiting a long time to meet the main man @TheNotoriousMMA! What a privilege to eventually meet and chat with the worlds best. pic.twitter.com/nJumWqpNlT

Earlier today, former Manchester United and England star met up with sweetheart of Irish rugby and subject for one of the greatest pieces of sporting commentary, Tommy Bowe.
Bowe met up with Ferdinand, who was over in Belfast to lend his support for the Active Communities Network.
The youth and community development charity uses sport as a pathway into education, training and employment. The youngsters will surely take a lot from the two sporting legends giving up their time and lending their support to such a good cause.
Ferdinand has a real passion for giving youths a leg-up through their sporting passions and he seemed delighted to have made the visit.
We have a new supporter! Great few days with this top man… @activecommunitiesnetwork @rioferdinandfoundation @rioferdy5 @UlsterRugby pic.twitter.com/CCY1xGfE2x

We’re not too sure about the jersey size Bowe selected to present to Ferdinand, though.
The Ulster jersey is meant to be tight-fitting but this, quite literally be a stretch:
Fair play to both men.
We hope Rio posts a snap of himself in the jersey.
