I have to say I’m a little surprised about the latest news involving our disgraced England captain, nevertheless I’m glad that common sense has prevailed.
When the story broke last week that Chelsea and England captain John Terry had cheated on his wife with former team mate Wayne Bridge’s past lover, it hardly filled me with surprise.
Terry’s been involved in a few highbrow incidents in the past, which have resulted in numerous storys plastered all over the tabloids. Until last week he had managed to keep his latest misdemeanor under wraps with the use of a super injunction.
Rightfully so, the request for an extension was denied, Mr. Justice Tugend stated Terry only wanted the injunction to stand, in order to protect his sponsorship deals, many of which now look in doubt.
One thing is for certain, Terry has lost the position every young boy dreams of, the England captaincy. Our beloved Italian manager must have deemed Terry’s position unattainable. I’m sure he has lost the respect of many of his teammates who will be now keeping an even closer eye on their other halfs.
Rio Ferdinand will now take the vacant armband for the foreseeable future. The defender hasn’t got a squeaky-clean track record himself, having been banned for eight months in 2003 for missing a drugs test.
As for terry, I’m sure he has still got a bright England future ahead of him. After all if England selectors introduce a policy where by any footballer that had committed a serious wrong was barred from the squad, we would have a lot of empty seats on the plane to South Africa in the summer
