Chelsea skipper Terry faces trial after Euro 2012

Chelsea captain John Terry will not face trial for his alleged racial comments directed at QPR defender Anton Ferdinand until after Euro 2012. Terry will go on trial nine days after the showpiece tournament ends.

Terry is accused of having racially abused Anton Ferdinand during a Premier League game between Chelsea and QPR on the 23rd of October last year; and faces trial as a member of the public complained to the police after the incident.


His case will now take place on the 9th of July. 


John Terry's lawyer said today: "Mr. Terry looks forward to the opportunity to clear his name.


"Mr. Terry denies making any racist statement and will establish in court that he is not guilty of any such offence."
