First reaction of Rio Ferdinand after John Terry's racist attack

Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand, Anton's elder brother, has spoken for the first time about the effect on the family.


In an interview on BBC's Football Focus, Rio said: "Anton is my little brother. We have grown up together and I looked after him when we were kids.
"If something is going to affect him and hurt him, I am always there as a shoulder to lean on. In moments like this, when things are so public and you can't really say anything, it can be frustrating.
"For my family, yes, it has been tough. My brother is not the accused."
