John Terry snubs FA chief

Terry snubs FA chief David Bernstein's attempt to shake hands John Terry, who was stripped of the England captaincy after being accused of racism, showed the extent of his enduring anger towards the Football Association by refusing to shake the hand of chairman David Bernstein in the most public of arenas on Friday. Don't blame him, is an emotional footballer.

Terry retired from international football last year after being found guilty by the FA of racially abusing Anton Ferdinand, and the contempt he showed towards English football’s most senior official makes it inconceivable he could play for his country again.

The pair were appearing alongside Uefa President Michel Platini and sports minister Hugh Robertson at a lavish function at Banqueting House in Westminster to mark the handing over of the European Cup.
Bernstein sought to greet a group of Chelsea players minutes before the presentation of the trophy but, in full view of several television cameras, Terry rejected his offer of a handshake.
When asked during a televised interview about the snub, the 32-year-old said: “Listen, it’s a difficult one for me. Obviously, he was the one who spoke about me in the court case and said things I don’t want to talk about on air.”
Bernstein, in fact, had no involvement in the criminal case or the FA disciplinary commission brought against Terry last year for racially abusing Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand.
