Captaincy shouldn't overshadow team
Sir Bobby Charlton today called on John Terry to ensure England's European Championship campaign was not derailed by him losing the captaincy for a second time. Charlton, who helped inspire England to World Cup glory in 1966 and remains his country's record goalscorer, urged Terry to act now to try to resolve any issues that have arisen since the allegations against him first emerged.
Capello 'may have breached contract'
The FA opted to axe John Terry as captain once it was known the Chelsea defender would not face trial over allegations he used racist language to Anton Ferdinand at Loftus Road in October until July, after Euro 2012. Terry denies the charge.
