    I was just watching a trailer for the programme which will be on BBC1 on Tuesday the 28th of March. It was heartbreaking, so soon after Mothers Day when we all think of our mothers and how much they mean to us the thought of his children losing their mum at such a young age and the pain they must be going through is made harder for him as his kids can't open up to him how they feel. It seems he does a lot of stuff involving young families who have lost a parent and tries to help them as best he can. I hope that someday soon he and his children will be able to share how they feel about the loss of his wife and their mother. I know it can take time but eventually they will and I hope that they can be a happy family once again with many happy memories of their mum.

    Broke my heart just watching the trailer.

    Think it will be a proper lump in the throat watch.

    Definitely give it a watch. Loved watching United through his years. Always had good things to say about us too. Can't imagine what he's going through.

    It must be hard, no doubt about it and his kid's will suffer..

    It's well known down here though that he was having affair after affair that she knew about, and i think he even left her for one of them when she was ill..

    Seen the trailer. Lost my mum to Cancer nearly two years ago, I know how hard its been to deal with as an *. For Ferdinand having young kids to explain it to will be horrible.

    He was womanizer on the scale of Mcavennie but no one is perfect, he had woman throwing themselves at him as well as celebs and in his day, that must have been hard to knock back. If that is true about cheating on his wife when he knew she was ill that pretty low but then people deal with things in different ways some go for drink and drugs others *.

    Who put you post police?

    I stated what was/is fairly well known and in reply to your post, no one is perfect. Still doesn't excuse what he was up to when his missus was ill..

    Had a serious health scare with Mrs B when the kids were young and the prospect of bringing them up alone without their mum horrified me beyond belief.

    Isn't he and Bobby Zamora building a social housing estate near Luton? Guy seems like he wants to make a difference for normal people after his career. Got to applaud that whatever you think of him before.

    I don't give a * how hard it was, his wife is extremely ill and I appreciate it must be hard but not for one second and I couldn't give a * how rich or famous he was/is would I or most decent people dream of sleeping with another women and using the excuse of I'm struggling to deal with my wife's illness.

    I like Rio as a footballer and he's a decent guy but zero excuses if he was out * other women while his wife laid there ill.

    Bobby Zamora is sound I've never heard any fans have a bad word about him they liked him at West Ham and loved him Brighton. I met him once years ago at a petrol station when he was at West Ham he seemed really down to earth.

    Any evidence for this other than rumours and/or the piece of * gutter press?

    Jesus. I didn't know that.

    He seemed pretty genuine in the documentary last night.
