Les Ferdinand to serve touchline ban after admitting charge

Thursday 26 Mar 2015
Les Ferdinand was also fined £12,000

Following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing, Les Ferdinand will serve a one match extended touchline ban with immediate effect after he admitted an FA misconduct charge.

It was alleged the Queens Park Rangers director of football used abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards a match official in or around the tunnel area after the end of the game against Tottenham Hotspur on 7 March 2015.

The extended ban prohibits Mr Ferdinand, who was also fined £12,000, from entering the tunnel or changing room area at any time on a match day in addition to being banned from the technical area.
