Terry puts the affair to bed

FOR the second time in a little over a week, John Terry caused a flurry of late activity in newspapers offices up and down the country.

This time, though, it wasn’t an injunction, or even a super injunction that caused the frenetic re-drawing of pages and hurriedly re-writing of headlines.

There wasn’t a lawyer – or a marker for that matter – in site when the Chelsea skipper rose to head home Frank Lampard’s late corner, to the delight of the 2,000 supporters in the away enclosure and the quiet satisfaction of dozens of sub-editors hunched over computers bashing out dodgy puns about Terry playing away and scoring.
