JT for SA
So John Terry cheated on his wife with the ex – that was ex, as in former – girlfriend of Wayne Bridge.
That’s a matter for JT and his wife. If the lady in question was Bridge’s current girlfriend, it might affect Bridge too and maybe then JT’s England captaincy should be in question.
Everyone knows that top footballers – and even golfers – are shaghounds. I’d be amazed if 90% of premier league footballers hadn’t cheated on a wife or girlfriend sometime in the past 12 months.
OK, so JT is England captain and should be a role model. But to claim he should be markedly more pure than his teammates is bollocks. It’s like saying that journos working for the moralising Daily Mail should have more irreproachable private lives than, say the Sun’s hacks. Do they? I doubt it.
In a few months England play in a World Cup finals in which they have a realistic chance. The media should lay off JT. JT, in turn, might consider it wise regretfully to resign his Dad of the Year prize.
In the meantime, playing away once more, JT’s goal against Burnley was the best riposte to those who say he should be sacked from the captaincy – and a nice slap for Burnley bore Alistair Campbell.
