QPR defender Anton Ferdinand speaks for the first time about the recent race row involving Chelsea and England captain John Terry.

Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand has spoken for the first time about the recent race row involving John Terry.

The Chelsea and England captain has been accused of making racist comments towards Ferdinand during his side's 1-0 defeat at Loftus Road last Sunday.

The Football Association, who are conducting an investigation into the matter, are in the process of interviewing witnesses to the alleged incident.

"The last few days have been crazy," Ferdinand told The Telegraph.

"But I'm looking forward to Sunday's game and fully focused on football.

"Anyone who knows me will know that whatever's going on, football's always going to be my number one priority."

The 26-year-old also expressed his thanks for the support that he had been given by his teammates and fellow professionals.

"I'd like to thank players like Jason Roberts for the support they have given me," he added.

"Not just professionals at other clubs but my teammates at QPR.

"They've been fantastic for me. Having teammates around you like I have is nice to feel, and nice to see."

QPR take on local rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday.
