Rio's World Cup Wind-Ups was a short English hidden camera practical joke show hosted by English footballer Rio Ferdinand which was filmed shortly before the 2006 FIFA World Cup.[1] The show strongly resembled the American show Punk'd[citation needed] which is hosted and produced by Ashton Kutcher. Ferdinand chose certain English footballers to play a prank on. The pranks would usually end with the catchphrase You got merked!.



English People who have been "Merked"



  • Gary Neville: Neville (and Giggs) comes for training and parks his car. Cops stop him and charge him for speeding and a number of traffic offences and proceed to detain Giggs and interrogate Neville.


  • Ashley Cole: Cole is visiting a music recording studio for a charity deal. The sound engineer's American partner then accuses him of deleting the track vocal parts and messing things up.


  • Shaun Wright-Phillips: Wright-Phillips accidentally gets a waiter fired. (John Terry was supposed to be the victim but he found out after seeing the message in his wife's mobile phone explaining the prank. Terry then found Wright-Phillips as a substitute.)


  • Peter Crouch: Crouch is offered an investment deal by an Indian businessman whose Russian business partners later barge in and demand money.


  • Wayne Rooney: Rooney is visiting a dogs' home with his wife Colleen when a little boy's dog dies.


  • David James: James goes to an art gallery and he is accused of breaking a piece of artwork made by a French artist.


  • David Beckham: Beckham is picked up by a driver that takes a detour to make him late for his meeting.
