Speaking on FiveUK, Ferdinand revealed that he had invited Terry to participate in his BBC documentary, 'Football, Racism and Me', to address the issue and create positive change, but that the Chelsea legend reviews.
The former QPR star is keeping the line open and has extended an invitation to Terry to discuss the incident.
