Adebayor admires Terry’s resilience

TOTTENHAM striker Emmanuel Adebayor is convinced John Terry’s form will not dip in the run up to his trial next February.

The Chelsea and England captain had a strong game against Tottenham on Thursday night despite learning just 24 hours earlier that he had been charged with a racially aggravated public order offence over comments allegedly made towards Anton Ferdinand during the Premier League encounter with QPR at Loftus Road on October 23.

The home fans gave Terry plenty of stick over his forthcoming trial, which is due to take place on February 1, but he rose above it, putting in a desperate sliding block to divert a goal-bound Adebayor shot in the dying minutes to deny Spurs a 2-1 victory.
