Terry responded with “A fragile Ego is putting yourself at Number 1. @rioferdy5 Thanks for putting me in your top 5.”

Terry was investigated by police in November 2011 after an allegation of racial abuse against QPR defender Anton Ferdinand.

Terry was given a four-game ban and a £220,000 fine by the FA but he was cleared in court and has always denied abusing Ferdinand.

Rio previously described Terry as an ‘idiot’ in his 2014 autobiography.

Terry also told The Times how he attempted to reach out to the Ferdinands after the incident: “It’s disappointing to read and hear that I’ve never reached out.

“I tried to phone Rio and Anton on numerous occasions, literally the same night [as the game], the day
