QPR defender Ferdinand grateful for support during Terry controversy

QPR defender Anton Ferdinand is grateful for the support he's received over his alleged race row with Chelsea captain John Terry.

Ferdinand paid tribute to the support he has received from others in the game, most notably his cousin Les Ferdinand and Blackburn striker Jason Roberts.

"I'd like to thank players like Jason Roberts for the support they have given me," he said. "Not just professionals at other clubs but my team-mates at QPR. They've been fantastic for me. Having team-mates around you like I have is nice to feel, and nice to see."

Had his manager Neil Warnock spoken to him about the incident?

"I don't want to talk about that," Ferdinand responded. "I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about the game on Sunday."
