Riccardo Ferri Cavaliere OMRI (Italian pronunciation: [rikˈkardo ˈfɛrri]; born 20 August 1963) is an Italian former footballer who played as a defender, in the role of centre-back.[2] Despite being a well regarded, attentive, and reliable defender throughout his career,[3] he holds the unusual and unfortunate record of the most own goals in Serie A history, alongside Franco Baresi, scoring in his own net on 8 occasions throughout his thirteen-year Inter career.[4][5] At international level, he represented Italy at the 1984 Summer Olympics, at UEFA Euro 1988, and at the 1990 FIFA World Cup.
His older brother, Giacomo was also a footballer and is currently a member of the technical staff at Torino.
