Terry hearing set to begin

John Terry will attempt to clear his name once and for all this week as an independent Football Association panel decides whether they believe he directed a racist slur towards Anton Ferdinand.

Press Association Sport understands tomorrow will see the start of Chelsea captain Terry’s personal hearing to answer an FA charge he used “abusive and/or insulting words” that “included a reference to the ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race of Anton Ferdinand” in last October’s Barclays Premier League clash at QPR.
