After the match, internet rumours spread that accused Terry of making racist comments towards Ferdinand, claims that Terry has strongly denied.

However, the CPS have decided that there is a case for Terry to answer.

"The decision was taken in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors and after careful consideration of all the evidence I am satisfied there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and it is in the public interest to prosecute this case."
