Terry insists players have backed him

JOHN TERRY has admitted not everybody will welcome him back as England skipper with open arms — but insisted his team-mates are right behind his return.

Although Fabio Capello’s handling of the situation has not exactly been flawless, most supporters accept Terry’s obvious leadership qualities make him the ideal man to take the armband.

Yet, ahead of Saturday’s Euro 2012 qualifier with Wales at the Millennium Stadium, the 30-year-old knows there are some whose reservations about the personal scandal that forced Capello to strip him of the honour 13 months ago are so deep, they will never be convinced Terry should be leading the national side out.
