At 20:15 Anton Ferdinand (signed Sept 2011) played 44 matches during our time in the Premiership (31 in 1st season, 13 in 2nd for QPR, sent out on loan in January 2013 to Bursaspor) and signed by Antalyaspor in August 2013. The notorious QPR 1-0 Chelsea at home on Sunday 23rd October 2011, cast a shadow over Anton and QPR’s season and he never recovered. His decline can be summed up by two articles:- "Anton Ferdinand has signed for Police United in the Thai Premier League in a bid to revive his career… Ferdinand had a sorry time in the Turkish Super Lig last season, making just three appearances for Antalyaspor as they were relegated and six on loan to Bursaspor.” (Kieran Gill, Mail Online, 20 June 2014) “The former West Ham and QPR centre-half has managed just two brief appearances for the Royals since joining in early August 2014. Ferdinand will now miss Saturday's clash with Bolton after suffering a calf problem in a late cameo at Norwich last weekend. ‘Ferdinand is not fit. He's not going to figure, he's got an issue with his calf that was picked up on Saturday,’ said manager Nigel Adkins” (Skysport, December 2014)
