John Terry Footballer John Terry was today cleared of hurling a racist obscenity at Anton Ferdinand. The England and Chelsea defender was acquitted of calling Ferdinand a ‘******* black ****’ during a Premier League Game on October 23 last year. Chief Magistrate Howard Riddle cleared the 31-year-old of a racially aggravated public order offence at Westminster Magistrates’ Court. Giving his verdict Mr Riddle said the case was not about “whether Mr Terry is a racist in the broadest sense of the word”. He said he had heard a great deal of evidence to show that he is not. “It is understandable why Mr Terry wants to make this point, his reputation is at stake,” he said.
