Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand yesterday gave evidence in the trial of a woman accused of harassing him and his family by turning up at his home on several occasions.
Susanne Ibru, 38, was allegedly seen outside Ferdinand's home in Cheshire, northwest England, three times between February and June last year, Macclesfield Magistrates' Court heard. She denies the charges.
Ferdinand, 32, said he had felt unsettled when Ibru appeared outside his home for the first time in the early hours of February 21.
"At first I was angry and upset but then disturbed, really, because I have got a young family and this was not the time or the place to be coming to speak to me," said Ferdinand.
The woman returned to the premises twice, on June 16 and June 18.
