He got absolutely panned for banging Wayne Bridges ex missus while Giggsy got away relatively lightly for carrying on a long term affair with his brothers wife.   Also the 'loadsamoney' incident with Septics in a Heathrow hotel on the day of 9/11.   Also giving 'captain's speeches on the pitch to England players when he wasnt the captain. Although that's probably Gerrard's fault too.   Also getting Maureen sacked the first time.

Seeing as he won the CL four years later the slip has nowhere near the same impact Gerrard's did.   Incidentally he's far more likely to be remembered for the full kit w*nker nonsense that followed that CL win.

Well if that genius said it then it must be true 

He epitomises Chelsea, a racist barrow boy who got rich quick, a vile individual but a superb centre half. Certainly England's best since Murdoch invented football.

Relax   United fans bitter? Of course not.

Yeah I wouldn't have described Terry as 'technically gifted' myself either. I would agree however that not only was he the best English centre half of his generation, but he has arguably been the best centre half in the Premiership full stop over the last decade and a half. I remember one pundit once described him as 'like having a second goalkeeper'. Thought it was a pretty apt description.
