Terry retires from England: "I feel The FA, have made my position with the national team untenable."
Terry: "Representing and captaining my country is what I dreamed of as a boy and it has been a truly great honour."
Terry: "I have always given my all & it breaks my heart to make this decision. I wish Roy and the team every success for the future."

BBC Sport - John Terry retires from England duty

[Stumpy Tim]

Good. Utter twunt

 

[Worthingite]

Good, it wouldn't have been long before he was out on merit anyway.

 

[Albion 4ever]

Good. Utter twunt

Still our best centre half though.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Sad day. England legend.

Puuuuulleeeeaaasssse!!!!! Legend? What did we win under his captaincy? Did he enhance the reputation of the country? That would be "nothing" and "no".

 

[El Turi]

Great news. He's crap anyway. Probably the slowest centre back in the Premiership and not good on the ball.

 

[Alfie87]

Not many people has the passion he does for his country

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Still our best centre half though.

Maybe, maybe not. But with him or without him, we won't win anything. He's a horrible individual so I'm glad he's not involved

 

[Titus]

Well timed.

 

[Kumquat]

Finally. How many thousand pennies dropping did that take? Good riddance.

 

[Dover]

Great news for the younger stars coming through.

That is a shame, he has always given his all for england which is more than can be said for rio ferdinand, typical of the f.a to mishandle an awkward situation, at the end of the day he was cleared in court and that should have been the end of it.

f***ing great!, just at the very moment I launch my plan for world domination by asking NSC's opinion on community composting some muppet announces his retirement from international football and suddenly everyone's all over this thread and my plans are thwarted

It's a bloody conspiracy I tell ya!

I think it is very sad. I always think its great to see a top premier shite players like Terry and Rooney care so much about their country, given this horrible growing trend where many people now don't give a toss about England as well as some players like jamie carragher and Peter Crouch etc. - for some reason we just set up our stars to fall.
Thanks Mr Terry for your service in the past and for caring so much.
