THE barrister defending Chelsea captain John Terry over a criminal racism charge might make a bad character application against Anton Ferdinand, his alleged victim, a court has heard.
Terry, 31, will stand trial at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London on July 9 accused of a racially aggravated public order offence – shouting an offensive comment at Ferdinand. The comment was allegedly made, and seemingly caught on footage, to the QPR defender during a match in October.
