Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand sparked a Washington security alert after he posted a picture of White House security staff on his Twitter site
The own goal by the England international was picked up by President Barack Obama's security staff who immediately removed the offending image from the social networking site.
Bemused and baffled Rio was left flummoxed and told how he felt like he was being watched by a Jack Bauer-type character from the hit spy series 24.
The 32-year-old ã30million centre back was visiting the White House along with his team mates as part of their pre-season tour of America but a planned meeting with the President had to be called off at the last minute because he had important matters of state to attend to.
But the father-three told his army of over 1million followers how much he was enjoying the tour of the White House before posting some pictures showing him in the state dining room and then with security staff and cheekily tweeting: the security needs beefing up here at the White House....!!
But just seconds later the picture had mysteriously vanished.
