Rio Ferdinand still holding a grudge against John Terry as Chelsea legend revealed ex-Man Utd star snubbed him on Dubai beach

The former centre-back allegedly racially abused Anton Ferdinand during a game between Queens Park Rangers and Chelsea at Loftus Road in 2011. Terry was charged over the incident but was cleared in court, however, he received a four-game ban and fined £220,000 by the Football Association as a result. And the 43-year-old says the 13-year spat shows no sign of abating.

WHAT HAPPENED?

He said on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvR04oYPQx0" target="_blank">William Hill's Up Front With Simon Jordan</a>: "Since then I've tried to speak to Rio, who doesn't want to talk to me at all. I've seen him on the beach in Dubai and he refused to speak to me. I think it could have been addressed and dealt with a lot better if I'm honest."

WHAT JOHN TERRY SAID

Terry also revealed in the interview he tried to speak to Anton about the incident 13 years ago. He added: "I tried to make contact with Anton that evening after the game and I basically got shut down instantly from all of them. I knew Anton, we were mates, we knew each other and always got on well. Obviously, I got on well with Rio. We could have done something that was more powerful than what came about in the end. And that's probably my disappointment because it's [racism] is in the game. Clearly in the stadiums and all of that now that we need to get out for sure. We could have done something very powerful as a group of players, not only us but everybody else I think at the time."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Terry, who retired from football in 2018 before taking up assistant coaching roles at Aston Villa and Leicester City, is currently an academy coach at Chelsea but is looking to become a first-team manager at some point.
