The Queens Park Rangers footballer Anton Ferdinand has told a court he found alleged racist comments made by John Terry "very hurtful" as the trial of the England and Chelsea defender began.Terry, 31, is accused of calling Ferdinand a "fucking black c*nt" during a Premier League match at Loftus Road last October.
He denies the charge, saying the remarks were "sarcastic exclamation" in relation to a perceived "false accusation" made by Ferdinand that he had used the words.
Westminster magistrates court heard that the incident had occurred in the 84th minute of the match, just after Ferdinand and Terry had clashed on the pitch.
Ferdinand said he was not aware of the alleged remarks until after the game, when his then girlfriend showed him YouTube footage on her BlackBerry in the QPR players' lounge.
He said had he known at the time what Terry was alleged to have said, he would have reported it to officials.
"I would have been obviously very hurt," he said, adding that he would not have reacted on the pitch – because "being a professional you can't do that" – but would have dealt with it afterwards.
The court heard of "industrial language" used by players. Ferdinand told the court being called a "c*nt" was fine. "But when someone brings your colour into it, it takes it to another level and it's very hurtful."
The chief magistrate Howard Riddle, who is trying the case, heard that Chelsea were down to nine men in the clash when Terry and Ferdinand began trading insults.
As Terry sat in the glass-panelled dock, Ferdinand stood in the witness box opposite. He told the court: "He called me a c*nt, and I called him a c*nt back. And he gave me a gesture as if to say my breath smelled.
"I said to him: 'How can you call me a c*nt? You shagged your team-mate's missus, you're a c*nt'."
This was a reference to Terry's alleged affair with his then team-mate Wayne Bridge's ex-girlfriend Vanessa Perroncel.
As Ferdinand jogged down the pitch, he made a "slow fist pump" gesture with his right hand, indicating sex. After the match, the Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole told him: "You can't talk to JT like that."
Ferdinand was asked to meet Terry in the away team's dressing room. He said Terry asked him: "Do you think I racially abused you?"
Ferdinand told the court: "I was like: 'No.' I said: 'No, that never came out of my mouth.'" He said Cole then said: "Yeah, didn't you say that to me?" Ferdinand added: "I said: 'I didn't say that at all.'"
Ferdinand said he and Terry had agreed the incident was "just handbags" – or banter.
But at around 7pm, one hour after the game ended, Ferdinand went to the QPR players' lounge. "My girlfriend at the time said to me, did John Terry racially abuse me. I looked at her like she was crazy and said no."
She then showed him footage sent to her BlackBerry from YouTube, Ferdinand said, and he believed a racist term had been used.
Terry denies a racially aggravated public order offence and claims he was only sarcastically repeating what Ferdinand wrongly thought he had said.
Under cross-examination by George Carter-Stephenson QC, for Terry, Ferdinand denied he had gone into the dressing room because he felt "guilty" about the allegations he had made.
He was accused of missing out key comments in his statement to police because of the "risk of exposing" what he had said to Terry.
The QC asked Ferdinand if he had decided to "up it" and add the racial allegations because he was angry that Terry was not rising to his comments on the pitch. He said he had not.
In a statement made after the incident, Terry said he was offended by the accusation. "Whilst footballers are used to industrial language, using racist terms is completely unacceptable whatever [the] situation.
"I was completely taken aback by this remark as I have never been accused of something like that and I did not take his remark lightly at all, and took strong offence to his suggestion," he said.
The case continues.

Chelsea captain John Terry "snapped" when his "blood was up" after QPR player Anton Ferdinand taunted him over an alleged affair, it has been claimed in court.
The former England captain was angered by comments and a "slow fist pump" gesture made by Ferdinand relating to an affair Terry allegedly had with the ex-girlfriend of former team-mate Wayne Bridges, Westminster magistrates court heard on Tuesday.
"You couldn't control your emotions that day," prosecutor Duncan Penny put to him in the witness box. "You're not a racist. But you used racist language that day because you snapped. You were fed up with people abusing you over the issue with your wife?"
Denying he snapped, Terry replied: "It was almost two years on and I'd heard it a million times before."
Terry, 31, has pleaded not guilty to a racially aggravated public order offence of calling Ferdinand, 27, a "fucking black c*nt" during the televised QPR v Chelsea game at Loftus Road on 23 October last year.
He claims he was repeating back words Ferdinand had said to him because he was "shocked and angry" that he thought Ferdinand had accused him of racism.
Under cross-examination , Terry agreed words such as "c*nt", "prick" and fuck", were part and parcel of the game, as was calling another player "fat" or "ugly".
"There are no-go areas aren't there?" asked Penny. "Wives, girlfriends. 'I shagged yours', that sort of thing?"
"I wouldn't call them no-go areas," replied Terry.
"Your domestic circumstances, the position is any allegation, as far as you were concerned, was a no-go area?" asked Penny.
"Clearly not," replied Terry, who said he was used to dealing with abuse over the alleged affair with Vanessa Perroncel, fielding comments on it "more or less every game" when he "just laughed it off".
He told the court he often repeated insults back to other players. Penny asked him: "You said that your response was to repeat back 'a black c*nt', or 'calling me a black c*nt'. How about 'what'? Straightforward, 'what?'".
Terry replied: "At the time I was shocked and angry. I had never been accused of it on a football pitch and repeated it back."
After the game, he asked Ferdinand to come to the Chelsea dressing room, because he wanted to sort it out. "I said: 'I thought you were accusing me of calling you black c*nt'. His reply to that was: 'No, no, no,'" he said.
He claimed Ferdinand had then said: "We all said things we shouldn't have said", and the two agreed it was "just handbags" – or banter – and shook hands.
Terry agreed he had been "stiched up right and proper" by the allegations.
Asked if he had considered apologising to Ferdinand, he replied: "Why would I apologise to Anton when he is the one who accused me? What I said was in response to what Anton said to me."
Ferdinand, who gave evidence on Monday, denied accusing Terry on the pitch of calling him a "black c*nt". He only became aware of the remarks Terry is alleged to have made when his girlfriend showed him YouTube footage on her BlackBerry about an hour after the match ended in the QPR players' lounge, he said.
The court heard the initial complaint of racism was made by an off-duty police officer watching the Premier League game on TV.
The court was told that Terry was interviewed by Jenny Kennedy, the head of the Football Association's off-field regulation, five days after the alleged incident.
Telling her he had "nothing to hide", he said he was repeating an accusation he thought Ferdinand had made about him during an ill-tempered exchange. He admitted: "If you watch the video and me, watching the video, you can quite easily say that, that doesn't look good.
"But at the same time, in the context of what I thought Anton accused me of, you know no one can argue what my feelings were at that time."
Terry was "not prepared" to be called a racist, he told the FA in the interview, played to the court. "I have been called a lot of things in my football career and off the pitch, but being called a racist I am not prepared to take.
"That's why I came out and made my statement immediately. I am not having Anton thinking that about me, or anyone else. That's not my character at all."
Earlier, Terry's defence had argued in court that the case against him was "so weak and tenuous" it should be thrown out. George Carter-Stephenson QC said there was "no proper prima facie" evidence against the 31-year-old centre back, telling the chief magistrate Howard Riddle that Ferdinand's reliability as a witness was "clearly not good". But Riddle rejected the defence's call.
The defence also argued that lip-reading experts had agreed it was impossible to clarify from the footage what had been said at the key moment. The case continues.
what did he call ledley that time?
LMAOOO
Rio should slow down before he catches a charge.

bait #30 was said to lampard
how would number 5 would ever come about
Carragher's brother f*cked Terry's mum at WC2006, supposedly. Don't know whether it's true, mainstream press wouldn't touch it I don't think but did make it onto some online gossip pages. Within the media whenever there's talk of the WAG culture around England there's references of what was going on at WC2006 and all the families being there with a nudge and a wink.
Abby Clancy was supposedly whoring it up as well.
Heard Clancy got ravaged by a couple German builders on site
Terry is bait gonna buss case
