Terry denies improper conduct charge

John Terry has denied a Football Association charge of improper conduct, following comments made about referee Graham Poll following his sending off in Chelsea’s match at Tottenham.

The England captain has requested a personal hearing with the FA after claiming Poll gave him conflicting reasons for his second yellow card in the Blues’ defeat at White Hart Lane on November 5.

Poll was cleared by the FA of saying anything inappropriate towards Chelsea players during the same match.
