John Terry has categorically dismissed any prospect of appearing on Rio Ferdinand’s podcast, describing the idea as completely off the table.The long-running dispute between the pair traces back to October 2011, when Terry was accused of directing racial abuse at Rio’s brother Anton during Chelsea’s Premier League fixture against Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road.Video footage appeared to show Terry using a racial slur towards the defender, though the former Chelsea star maintained he was asking Anton whether he believed such language had been used.The Crown Prosecution Service charged Terry with using racist language, but he was acquitted following a trial in July 2012 after pleading not guilty.However, the Football Association conducted its own investigation and found Terry guilty, imposing a four-match suspension and £220,000 fine.Terry chose not to challenge the FA’s ruling and issued an apology for his language, stating that regardless of context, such words were unacceptable on the pitch or elsewhere.The former Chelsea captain, now 45, told Reece Mennie’s podcast when asked about a possible reconciliation with Anton’s brother Rio: “That’s definitely not happening! He doesn’t even talk to me. “I would have done, but I approached Rio on the beach about five years ago now. He just had no interest in having a conversation or discussing previous issues.”John Terry has categorically dismissed any prospect of appearing on Rio Ferdinand’s podcast | PATerry indicated he has drawn a line under attempts at reconciliation with his former England teammate.He added: “At some point, you go, enough is enough, it’s old news, and you move on and get on with your life.”Ferdinand had previously made clear that any reconciliation would need to begin with Anton.He said: “He probably needs to speak to my brother before he speaks to me. And he’s not spoken to my brother.”Rio Ferdinand is set to pack his bags and move to Dubai | PAIn a 2021 BBC documentary, Terry recounted approaching Ferdinand in Dubai, asking for five minutes to talk, only to be told: “I don’t want to talk to you JT.”Ferdinand labelled Terry “the biggest idiot” in his 2014 autobiography.Terry has maintained that he attempted to contact Anton on the evening of the match but was immediately rebuffed by the family.He suggested the situation represented a missed opportunity, telling William Hill’s Up Front podcast that the players could have united to deliver “something very powerful” in the fight against racism.John Terry won five Premier League titles at Chelsea | PAHowever, Anton disputed Terry’s account in a 2021 tweet.He wrote: “I never received a call personally from JT prior to the documentary or during the process.”The younger Ferdinand brother added that he remained willing to engage if Terry was genuinely committed to tackling racism.He said: “The door is still open to have a conversation if he’s serious about racism in football & wanting to create positive change.
