IAN HERBERT: Anton Ferdinand's heartbreaking BBC documentary on racism says a lot about the character of John Terry but even more about the FA... the lack of remorse for their 2011 failings is depressing and devastating

It's the words on the screen just before the credits roll on the new BBC documentary about Anton Ferdinand and racism which truly make your heart sink.

This is the moment where we find out what happened after Ferdinand repeatedly and deferentially asked John Terry to speak to him, on camera, for the first time since the incident. 'John Terry still hasn't returned Anton's email,' we're told. 'His representative… told us that he's moved on with his life and career and doesn't want to re-open the case.'

It's also where we find out why Kick it Out, the anti-racism organisation which the Football Association funds, claimed they had feared speaking out for Ferdinand back in 2011, in case that grant support was withdrawn.
