Ghana-born Marcel Desailly backs ex-teammate John Terry in racism fight against FA
Posted On Wednesday, 26th September 2012
Marcel Desailly believes beyond any doubt that his ex-Chelsea team-mate John Terry is not a racist.
Ghana-born World Cup winner Marcel Desailly believes beyond any doubt that his ex-Chelsea team-mate John Terry is not a racist.
Terry has retired from international duties as the FA investigates him after allegedly racially abusing Queen’s Park Rangers(QPR) Anton Ferdinand.
But Desailly, who spent six seasons at Stamford Bridge during his distinguished playing career, defends his former team-mate saying Terry is “ a natural leader”.
“I know Terry, he is not a racist person, and it’s going too far stripping him of the captaincy,” Desailly said.
“Yes, the Football Association who is the administration has made a statement.
“What is good is that the player is a natural leader.”
As Desailly has been speaking out over The FA/John Terry tedium, and shockingly he comes down in favour of his ex-Chelsea teammate.
This gives further credence to the theory that there are no real opinions in football, just groups of people separated by club loyalty.

For common sense sake,centain things are not worth mentioning or said.
No rascist will admit to it and the fact that Marcel did not see anything rascist about Terry does not mean JT is not rascist.
The issue here is what he said to Anton.Yes he is cleared by a court of rascist charges but the FA has a duty to ensure that such stupid comment about peolple based on their colour and not their ability is erroded from FOOTBALL.
Marcel should be sensible enough in his comment.
Which natural leader goes round shagging his mates mrs,insult people by the colour of their skin.
If that is the way Marcel see things then l hope he never become the black stars coach.
SILLY COMMENT AND UNFORTUNATE BACKING.
Should J.T be found not guilty, then FA must be ready to defend itself against defamation.
J.T has been found guilty.FOUR MATCH BAN PLUS £220,000.
