John Terry denies Carlton Cole allegations that he admitted calling Anton Ferdinand a 'f***ing black c***' in 'a moment of madness' in a phone call in the immediate fall-out of the former Chelsea captain's racism row

John Terry has strongly denied allegations from Carlton Cole that he confessed to calling Anton Ferdinand a 'f****** black c***' in an infamous incident in 2011.

Cole claimed on Monday that Terry privately described his alleged racial slur against Ferdinand in 2011 as 'a moment of madness' in the immediate aftermath of the incident.

Former Chelsea captain Terry was alleged to have racially abused QPR defender Ferdinand during a match at Loftus Road in October 2011, which the England defender denied at the time and was subsequently found not guilty of in court.
