John Terry claims Rio Ferdinand SNUBBED him in Dubai when he approached former England team-mate about 2011 racism accusation from his brother Anton with ex-Chelsea star insisting he reached out to both on 'numerous occasions'

John Terry has revealed that Rio Ferdinand snubbed him on a beach in Dubai when he approached to clear the air over the 2011 racism accusation from his brother Anton.

Terry, now assistant manager at Aston Villa, was hit with a four-game ban and £220,000 fine for the incident during the game between the Blues and QPR at Loftus Road.

But the former England stalwart was later cleared in court having being charged and has always denied racially abusing his fellow defender.
