Terry: Some header

WHEN the paymasters of the Premier League promised us twists and turns aplenty going into the New Year, I’m not sure they had John Terry’s (further) descent into the moral undergrowth in the script.

The Chelsea and England captain’s representatives have been in and out of court this week and Terry has again found himself in the tabloid’s crosshairs as another unseemly chapter is added to the off-field shenanigans of this son of Barking, a tough area of East London once notorious for its criminal fraternity.

While the front sections of the newspapers are busy with the where and how many times of his not-so-secret twist with Vanessa Perroncel, the former partner of Wayne Bridge, we in the toy department get our knickers in a twist (metaphorically, of course,) regarding the impact this latest scandal will have on Terry’s football career.
