    Although given that he probably wouldn't have been picked again probably a preemptive strike

    He's a right ****er.

    I don't condone anything done by John Terry, but Rio is a proven liar as is his **** of a brother.

    If only some people knew what he gets up to in Leeds over the years. (My dad is a copper in West Yorkshire)

    Allegedly not exactly loyal to the wife and likes a bit of sherbet up the snout, hence the carry on surrounding his missed drugs test. This is strictly rumours and gossip not fact, don't want to upset [MENTION=55530]DusThaNoIII[/MENTION] with my lack of supporting evidence

    I don't get the whole 'retiring from playing for England thing'.

    You don't get to choose.

    When your country says it dosen't need you, thats when you stop.

    I don't think you can retire from international duty. I remember Makalele being forced to play for France after he had 'retired'.

    What is more of a scandal than anything Terry or Ferdinand did, either on their own or to each other was the retirement from International Football of Paul Scholes. This was back in 2004. That's right nine years ago! Hardly anything was said and yet still Beckham (the reason Scholes quit) gets lauded as an England legend. In reality this one ego maniac, one man marketing icon was probably a huge reason why the England team failed over and over again. Never playing to their true footballing potential and spending most of their call up time as extras in advertising campaigns to sell everything from beer to insurance and shirts rather than working on ways to play together and win football matches. Players being played to satisfy sponsors, even unfit sometimes.
    "The Beckham roadshow" Scholes called it. The 'Golden generation' wasted for corporate greed.

    Agreed; he is just a self indulgent tossbag.
