We haven't forced Terry to quit England, claim FA as hearing starts

 
John Terry was not forced to quit England over his racism hearing, the FA claimed on the first day of his Wembley hearing.
As manager Roy Hodgson paid tribute to departing Terry, FA general secretary Alex Horne revealed they are mystified by his decision to retire from international football.
Horne insisted the disciplinary hearing over Terry's racism charge was entirely separate to his England prospects.
Terry left the hearing at around 3pm on Monday afternoon having spent six hours at the FA headquarters and Anton Ferdinand has also gone home for the day.
