It's certainly a busy time for Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand. Over the weekend he helped the club win its 18th Premier League title, matching Liverpool's record for the most number of top tier titles.

In addition to his official duties on the pitch as a Man U and England player, Ferdinand's also found the time to launch a digital magazine on his personal website, called #5 Magazine. Claimed to be "the world's first digital lifestyle magazine," issue one has just kicked off with interviews with some friends including 50 Cent, Duffy, and Man U teammate Christiano Ronaldo.

To help promote his new endeavour, Ferdinand will be playing a few lucky individuals in a Game with Fame session. Microsoft's celebrity-backed program has had numerous UK guests in the past, including model Jodie Kidd and everyone's favourite TV star, Vernon Kay. According to the publisher, Ferdinand's quite the fan of Street Fighter IV (let's face it, who isn't?) and he'll be putting that claim to the test this week. Think you have what it takes to knock Rio out of the ring? To be in the running simply email your name, age, gamertag and why you think you should be chosen to rioferdinand@gamewithfame.net by midnight, Wednesday May 20. The Game with Fame will run from 5:15 - 6:00pm this Thursday, May 21. In the meantime, you can get into training before the big event with our Street Fighter IV master class:

    i thought football players liked to crash ferraris and start fights outside night clubs.

    If only you could beat him at his own game (ie. FIFA 09!)

    This would be awesome, but my recent online Street Fighters experiences have lead me to believe I suck.
