London, Sept 29 (ANI): Rio Ferdinand is ready to hear a ruling regarding a privacy action over a 'kiss and tell' story, which might draw him a maximum of 50,000-pound damage and a worldwide 'contra mundum' injunction if he wins it.
The England and Manchester United star brought his case for misuse of private information against MGN Ltd over a Sunday Mirror article in which interior designer Carly Storey gave her account of their 13-year relationship in return for 16,000 pounds, reports the Daily Star.
The 32-year-old claimed that the April 2010 piece - 'My affair with England captain Rio' - was a 'gross invasion of his privacy', and that he had not seen Storey for six years by the time it appeared.
The article claimed that Ferdinand ended his relationship with wife Rebecca and his three children within days of being handed the England skipper's armband in February 2010.
However, MGN says it was in the public interest to run the story about the centre back. (ANI)
