John Terry vs Anton Ferdinand
During a game between Chelsea and QPR in 2011 Ferdinand claimed that Terry had called him a “f*****g black c***”.
The investigation was swift, and came down harsh on Terry who was found guilty and subsequently stripped of the England captaincy, fined £220,000 and handed a four-match ban. Hardly anyone’s favourite player, Terry’s reputation has never quite recovered despite hitting a rich vein of form in his twilight years.
