Introducing Back Of The Net

With the first ever BOTN post there is only one place to start.

John Terry and his affair which has left his Wife, Wayne Bride and his country in turmoil. An England captain needs to be whiter than white. Somebody who all look up to. A role Model. Before last week Terry was all of those things. A seemingly perfect England captain. His perfect world has now come crashing down due to greed, selfishness and a lust to squeeze every last drop of revenue out of the England Captaincy. Did he not once think of the consequences of his actions and what about what he is putting his wife through? Is pain and suffering he has the mark of an England captain?

Look what he has done to his family and two children. Would you want to come home and see your father has done that. He's an insult to Bobby Moore and Billy Wright. John Terry was not proud to be England captain, all he was interested in was the privileges that came with it and he has abused those captain privileges. He has disgraced the England captaincy and all he has done is try and sell himself to gain sponsorship and more money. You should be proud to be England captain, honoured and if you gave captaincy to Rooney, there you would find and player worth to call himself England Captain. The mere fact that the affair was with the lover of his colleague and close friend Wayne Bridge just adds insult to injury and rubs salt into the very open wound.

To find out about Terry the footballer all you have to do is type his name into a Google Images. There you will see and all action leader, a motivator and an icon. On the pitch Terry can rarely be faulted however all of these off the field allegations have cast a shadow over his football. Even on the field however there were a number of issues with his captaincy. Can John Terry change the game? Can he grab a game by the scruff of the neck and win a game almost on his own? When backs are against the wall will he stand up and be counted? The answer to all three questions is no. He is just another player.

Terry also has form on the scandal front. In November 2005 Terry was accused of cheating on partner Toni Poole in a public car park. Jenny Barker said the star sent her saucy texts after she asked for his autograph and later 'met' with her in his Bentley. In March 2008 Terry as England's captain rejected a 50p an hour public car park yards away in favour of dumping his black Bentley in a spot for disabled drivers outside Pizza Express in Esher, Surrey. The £60 fine was nothing to a player on £135,000 a week and who had earned £1,600 in the time it took him to eat his dough balls and a Hot 'n' Spicy.In December 2009 he sold private access to himself and Chelsea Football Club through hushed £10,000 deals. This included personal tours of Chelsea's 5 star training facility in Cobham.

He may well be 'Mr Chelsea' however he is no longer 'Mr England.' If indeed he ever was.
