Former QPR defender Anton Ferdinand has called on Chelsea legend John Terry to sit down and finally settle their racist conflict.
Recall that in October 2011, during a Premier League match at Loftus Road between Terry and Ferdinand, an incident occurred in which John allegedly insulted Rio Ferdinand’s younger brother with the phrase “f**cking black c*nt”.
Subsequently, the FA punished Terry with a four-match suspension and a fine of 222,000 pounds, but the Westminster Magistrates Court, which considered Ferdinand’s civil claim, found no clear evidence of guilt and John was acquitted.
Terry recently admitted that he tried to contact Anton immediately on the day of that match, but was ignored. Similarly, Jonah continues to ignore Rio.
In the end, Anton agreed to a confrontation with Terry, but only if it was in front of the cameras and live on air.
“As you know, I have already recorded a documentary for the BBC (in 2021), which sets out all the facts and in which he (Terry) refused to act. I wanted him to show up there and contribute to a positive apology.”
“I saw what he said on Simon Jordan’s podcast, so my position is this: if you really want to bring about positive change, I’ll sit with myself in front of the cameras live so that we have nowhere to hide. To begin with, we’ll look at real footage, without blurring.”
“If you don’t want to talk about it that way, then, as far as I understand, this topic is closed to me,” Anton Ferdinand said on Twitter.
