John Terry was today dramatically cleared of racially abusing a rival player during a Premiership game.
The
former England captain sat as in silence behind the glass fronted dock
while Chief Magistrate Howard Riddle delivered the verdict to the packed
Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
But cheers erupted from friends in the public gallery as he was cleared.
Terry refused to comment as he left the court building to shouts of support from crowds waiting outside.
As he was whisked away in a waiting car, a throng of Chelsea supporters
celebrated and one man, who gave his name as Javid, unfurled a John
Terry poster and made a very loud, determined speech which appeared to
drown out television reporters' pieces to camera.
Ferdinand's mother, Janice, and other
relatives looked shell-shocked as the verdict was announced and also
declined to comment as they left the public gallery.
Outside,
Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck said: 'Chelsea Football Club notes and, of
course, we respect the decision of the magistrate today. We are pleased
that John can now put his mind to football and go back to training and
do what he's done for many years.'
Dan
Morrison, Terry's lawyer, said: 'The court has today acquitted John
Terry of all charges. He has consistently explained his position to the
FA, the police and to the court.
'He
did not racially abuse Mr Ferdinand and the court has accepted this.
John would like to thank his legal team for their hard work and his
family, friends and Chelsea Football Club for their support.'
