Ted Terry, 59, father of Chelsea and England footballer John Terry, arriving at City Of London Magistrates Court Photo: NICHOLAS RAZZELL By Daniel Johnson, and agencies 4:03PM BST 23 Jul 2013 Ted Terry, 59, allegedly shouted racist obscenities and used a derogatory term to describe a man of Pakistani origin before assaulting Amarjit Talafair on March 22. Terrys two friends Stephen Niland, 36, and Tudor Musteata, 47, also shouted racist abuse during the alleged attack near The Windsor pub in the City of London, the court heard. Terry appeared at City of London Magistrates Court today charged with racially aggravated common assault and a racially aggravated public order offence. Terry admitted assaulting Amarjit Talafair, but denied it was racially motivated. Ijaz Malik, prosecuting, said the three men, who work for construction firm C2C, were out celebrating Niland's birthday when there was an altercation between 5pm and 6pm. Mr Malik said: Mr Talafair was outside the rear of the pub having a cigarette. "The three defendants exited the pub and an exchange of words took place between the two groups. "Mr Talafair and his friend Scott Faal walked away from the pub towards Fenchurch Street Station and were followed by the three defendants. "Shortly afterwards Mr Faal returned to the pub and told his friends there was trouble outside. "And Mr Talafair returned and said he had been head-butted by Mr Terry." Terry's lawyer John Oliver said he would plead guilty to the assault, but denied it was racially motivated. However, the prosecution did not accept his partial plea so a two day trial has been set to begin on November 11. If convicted, Terry, of Grays, Essex, could face up to a year behind bars. =================================================== So this is the scumbag where john terry got his racist side from, it all makes sense now.
