Police seek this man following John Terry dad attack in Upminster
POLICE have released a CCTV still of a man they want to speak to in connection with the assault of a footballer’s father in Upminster Rail Station.
Ted Terry - the 56-year-old dad of Chelsea captain John Terry, 29 - suffered a three-inch gash to the back of his head after the unprovoked attack on Saturday November 6.
It is believed the former forklift driver was set upon by a rival Tottenham Hotspurs fan, and was recognised because of a highly-publicised conviction for cocaine supply.
The attacker wore a Spurs scarf wrapped around his knuckles when he launched the assault.
Detective Constable Graeme Knox, investigating officer, said that the incident took place just after 10pm on platform 2 of the station.
