He's a footballer at the end of the day that's all we should care about, would you stop shopping at a shop because the owner had an affair? Would you stop going to a hairdresser because he had an affair? You wouldn't so why is everyone being so contradictory here?

I reject the whole idea of role models, you can't model your life on someone else because no one is perfect and plus it's such a messed up ideal at a basic level. I can understand admiring someone on a proffessional level but expecting them to lead their life with no mistakes is *****ed up.

I'd love to know who's gonna take over really, will it be prostitute loving Rooney? how about that pair of sex tape stars that is Gerrard and Ferdinand? All the team's done wrong so anyone who takes his place for me will be a contradictory decision.

Either way shaking up the team like that, we can forget about the world cup again. Thanks interfering blame shifting parents and trashy tabloids!

Disagree! Nobody is trying to stop him being a footballer, just team captain, which is clearly a role he is not suited to! Anybody in a management role, and the additional salary and other benefits that go with it, is expected to maintain a higher level of self-control and general conduct - it goes with the job. Anyone not prepared to accept that responsibility should not expect such a position. Yes, he is just a footballer - just not a team captain!

And according to your views - John Terry's parents ****ed up big time!
