Chelsea's John Terry has thanked the club's fans for their
support after allegations about his private life that cost him the
England captaincy.
England manager Fabio Capello took a matter of minutes on Friday
to tell Terry his time as captain of the national side was at an
end following the central defender's alleged affair with Vanessa
Perroncel, the ex-girlfriend of former Chelsea teammate Wayne
Bridge.
But the 29-year-old Terry remains the captain of Chelsea, where
he has had the unstinting backing of manager Carlo Ancelotti, and
the ongoing publicity over his private life appears to have had no
adverse effect on his on-field performances.
It was from Terry's flick-on that Didier Drogba scored the first
of his two goals on Sunday at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea beat
Arsenal 2-0 to regain top spot in the English Premier League.
Terry, who has not so far commented publicly about his alleged
infidelity, remains a hero to many Chelsea supporters and he told
Chelsea TV, the club's in-house television station, after Sunday's
victory: "On a personal note I would like to thank every single
fan.
"It's been an emotional day (on Sunday) for myself and how the fans
have been with me over the last two weeks has been quite
incredible.
"I didn't expect that today and I would like to thank every
single individual fan for the way they treated me.
"It was a great performance and, I mean it from my heart, I
would like to thank everyone."

Imagine if our personal lives had a bearing on one''s employment...we would all be fired. I respect JT as a tru leader..replacing him with the once banned for drugs Ferdinand is an insult to the man and simply smacks of hypocrisy...not forgetting the vice captain''s bar fights (Stevie G)
