The father of John Terry had to represent himself in court after claiming he couldn’t afford the £340 fee for a lawyer, even though his son earns £150,000-a-week at Chelsea.
Ted Terry stands accused of racially aggravated common assault near London’s Fenchurch Street station in March.
Chelsea defender John currently lives in a £10million Surrey mansion, and he himself was cleared of racially abusing Anton Ferdinand in a match against QPR last July.
According to The Sun, Ted Terry spoke to police in the public gallery, saying: ‘I can’t afford a lawyer. It cost me £300 on Tuesday and they want to charge £340 today.’
The builder, who appeared in court in a polo shirt and khaki shorts, is alleged to have headbutted Amarjit Talafair.
City of London magistrates have said that he will face an Old Bailey trial along with two other men.
The 59-year-old admitted common assault last month, but denies it was racially aggravated.
