Don't judge a book by it's cover - especially John Terry

Excellent read. Thank you so much for sharing and translating. Where was it posted? In a newspaper?

No problem, you're very welcome. It was posted in the artical section on the no.1 football website in Iceland.

What a way to break the tension. Bravo.

Fantastic article.

What a fantastic article. Perfectly translated as well. JT is some man, can't believe I hadn't read this before.

Not sold, its a good read no doubt but in recent years he has painted himself in an unfortunate light in regards to the public. Granted this may still go on however we only know what is reported.

On the field completely support Terry, off it I couldn't care less.

Only just got round to reading this. Brilliant read thanks for translating! Really shows the kinda guy JT is, he remembers his roots & what it was like to be in the youth team. The media can say what they like about him at the end of the day, JT is a true captain & leader. He always thinks of other people & tries to make them happy, just look what he did for Steve.

The article has made it onto the shed & who ate all the pies... with TC being credited. Good work mate!

I must say that I'm not terribly surprised by this article. When you see JT with the players, he exudes a passion and genuine care that's beyond reproach. He sacrifices his body and constantly fights through injury, not so much for personal glory, but for the glory of our side. Our opponents' supporters are so blinded by bias, media bullshit, and hate that they can't fathom why we think we are blessed to have such a man lead our club into battle week in and week out. When it's quite simple: John's blood is the bluest out there. His love of our club and everyone associated with it is unparalelled.

What the.. I found the first half of this article earlier this morning and they said it's the whole thing.

In any case, it just reaffirms my belief that all the flak he's been getting is just a load of bollocks. Still looking for the reasons people hate him so much. Downright hate. How people can be so judgmental baffles me to no end. It's just unsubstantiated and illogical to despise a person so much unless he fucked your mother or something.

Now I'm curious, where did you find the first half of this article?

Some site called Assistant Blog. http://assistantblog.co.uk/2012/02/11/a-more-complex-terry/

On a second look, apparently I misunderstood the part that says 'here's the whole thing'. Looks like the blog author got it from TS, which according to the earlier posts in this thread, sourced it from here.

Anyway bump and thanks for a great thread.
