	  non-league clubs such as AEL FC, and Southall FC and Hayes FC, it was from 
	  there that Queen's Park Rangers FC signed Les for £15,000 on 12 March 
	  1987. 163 league appearances followed, in which he scored 80 
	  goals.  In between times, he was loaned to Brentford AFC for 
	  three league appearances from 24 March 1988. For the 1988-89 
	  season, Ferdinand was loaned to Turkish side, Beşiktaş JK.  His 
	  scoring record was suffice for Newcastle United FC to pay £6 million for 
	  his signature on 7 June 1995. 41 goals in 68 Premier League 
	  appearances followed. Tottenham Hotspur FC paid another £6 million 
	  for Ferdinand on 5 August 1997, where he would play another 
	  118 Premier League appearances, scoring 33 goals, in an 
	  injury-plagued period. He was linked with a move to Kevin Keegan's 
	  Fulham FC in May 1999. Ferdinand joined West Ham United FC in 
	  January 2003, after their relegation and two goals in fourteen 
	  Premier League appearances, Ferdinand opted to remain in the 
	  Premier League with Leicester City FC, until they were relegated at the end 
	  of 2003-04 (29 Premier League appearances, twelve goals), 
	  whereupon Ferdinand joined Bolton Wanderers FC. Although starts were 
	  limited, Ferdinand still managed twelve appearances, scoring once. 
	  He left on 2 January 2005 and four days later, signed for Reading FC, 
	  where he remained until the end of the season, having played 
	  twelve times, scoring just the one. In 2005-06, Ferdinand signed

	  40th birthday without playing a single competive game with Watford. |
