Three QPR players have given evidence in the case against Chelsea captain John Terry, it has been revealed.

The Daily Mail says Clint Hill, Paddy Kenny and Shaun Derry have provided statements that point to a serious flaw in Terry's version of events at Loftus Road on Sunday.

Ferdinand was baffled by the statement the England and Chelsea captain issued on Sunday night, particularly his claim that YouTube footage showed him responding to an accusation from Ferdinand that Terry had just called him 'a black ****'.

Kenny, Derry and Hill - an active players' union representative - question whether any such exchange took place, given that Ferdinand had no knowledge of a racial element to what was said until after the game.
