Riccardo Ferri (born 20 August 1963) is an Italian former footballer who played as a defender, in the role of centre-back. Despite being a well regarded, attentive, and reliable defender throughout his career, he holds the unusual and unfortunate record of the most own goals in Serie A, scoring in his own net on 8 occasions throughout his thirteen-year Inter career. 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.
Ferri was born in Crema, in Lombardy, and debuted in Serie A with Internazionale in October 1981. Soon a first-team defender, he became a mainstay of the team's starting eleven, playing for Internazionale for a total of 13 seasons.
With Inter, he won the 1981–82 Coppa Italia, followed by Inter's record breaking Scudetto and 1989 Supercoppa Italiana win during the 1988–89 Serie A season, and two UEFA Cups; the first in 1991, and the second in 1994. In 1994, he went to Sampdoria together with teammate Walter Zenga, in exchange for Gianluca Pagliuca, retiring two seasons later.
