LONDON: Anton Ferdinand will never shake John Terry’s hand after their bitter feud erupted again, reported The Sun.


The Queens Park Rangers defender snubbed the Chelsea skipper before yesterday’s 0-0 draw at Loftus Road.

Ferdinand also blanked Ashley Cole, who spat over his shoulder as the QPR man passed directly in front of him.

A source close to Ferdinand said: “Anton has been appalled at the behavior of John Terry and Ashley Cole.

"He made his mind up some time ago that he wasn’t going to shake their hands.

“Anton will never shake Terry's hand.”

QPR skipper Park Ji-Sung Park also snubbed Terry at the coin toss and at the pre-match ritual.

It was the first time Ferdinand and Terry had met on the pitch since the England centerback's race trial in July.

Terry was found not guilty of using a racial slur against Ferdinand in the corresponding fixture last October but remains the subject of an FA investigation over charges he denies.

Cole testified as a character witness for Terry at the trial and both players were jeered at every touch of the ball and subjected to derogatory chants from QPR fans.

Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo insisted they had done all they could to end the feud.

“We have done our part and if other people feel differently then that’s not our problem,” he said.
