Terry hearing heads into fourth day

John Terry will return for a fourth day of his disciplinary hearing on Thursday into a charge the player used racist language on the pitch.

Chelsea skipper Terry spent eight hours on Wednesday at the FA independent regulatory hearing when he denies a charge that he used a racist slur towards QPR's Anton Ferdinand in October last year.

The 31-year-old was accompanied by Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck for the duration of the hearing and both departed shortly before 4.30pm.
