Both QPR boss Neil Warnock and Tottenham counterpart Harry Redknapp had good things to say about the player after a difficult week in which he make a charge of racism against John Terry.
“He’s a good defender, a good lad and I thought that was a good performance today. It speaks volumes for his character, absolutely. He’s led us at times this season. I didn’t think the situation affected him. It doesn’t affect us at all. I thought he was absolutely magnificent,” said Warnock.
“I’ve known Anton since he was 11 or 12, when he used to come with his brother, Rio, to West Ham,” Redknapp said. “They are a good family, the Ferdinands, they’ve been well brought up, they are nice people. It’s been a difficult week for the kid; he has been under scrutiny. He came through all right.”
