They say you never lose it and Rio Ferdinand demonstrated that when he produced a header while on punditry duty.
Ferdinand was joining a broadcast team of Gareth Bale, Steve McManaman, and Laura Woods who were previewing Liverpool's clash with Real Madrid on TNT Sports.
During the pre-match build-up, one of the team's balls flew towards the punditry team and it was clear that Ferdinand's muscle memory kicked in.
The former Manchester United defender - who retired in 2015 - stepped back and headed the ball back where it came - much like he would have done in his playing days.
While Woods was further away from the action, Bale and McManaman were left ducking as the ball flew over, before Ferdinand intervened.
Elsewhere during the build-up, Ferdinand accused McManaman of poking fans at his former side United in the build-up to Liverpool's mouth-watering Champions League clash.
Ferdinand also jumped to the defense of Mohamed Salah amid his contract stand-off with Liverpool.
The Egyptian's contract is set to expire at the end of this season and he recently claimed in a shock interview that there are no new offers to stay from Liverpool chiefs.
The forward, 32, conducted a rare interview with Mail Sport and a small group of other reporters after scoring twice in the 3-2 victory at Southampton, where he said he was 'more out than in' and criticized the club.
It drew criticism from the likes of club legend Jamie Carragher who claimed that Salah was acting 'selfish' by venting his frustration in public but now Ferdinand has argued back.
