John Terry permanently appointed as England skipper

John Terry Rio Ferdinand 

England coach Fabio Capello has made John Terry of Chelsea  permanent England captain.

Terry had been closely conteseted by Rio Ferdinand for the role,  but finally Capello has opted for the man from Chelsea.

During Steve McClaren’s failed stint in charge of England, Terry became captain after replacing David Beckham in the job following the 2006 World Cup.

Since succeeding McClaren as coach, though, Capello has been rotating the armband during his four friendlies in charge.

Steven Gerrard of  Liverpool had been in contention but for whatever reason has been passed over.

Whether Terry is the right choice remains to be seen. No-one doubts his courage or determination to succeed but I personally doubt his ability to manage his volatile temperament for the benefit of the team.

Check out John Terry in action.
