Let's not pretend premier league players and England internationals are the high point of morals and ethics. You say some of us have done some shitty things and yes I bet we have. But it's not just some with Terry is it. We've got violence, racism, lewd public behaviour, having an affair as a married man and with the partner of a work colleague. I doubt many have notched those up. And if they have I'd say the same about them. Thats all well and good, but some of us just don't care. Thats a mighty fine high horse you got yourself pardner.

The former England captain donated £1,600 to the family of Tommi Miller, who he met last year. He told the Cambridge News he was "totally devastated" to hear he had died. Tommi's mother Ruth Miller said she was "overwhelmed" by the gesture and is also planning to buy a "special headstone" with the money. She said the family, who live in Thorpe Way, Cambridge, were "very proud" the footballer remembered him. Tommi, who was diagnosed with leukaemia aged three, died last month after an unsuccessful attempt was made to carry out a bone marrow transplant "When we visited the stadium, you could tell John Terry was really taken by him and his cheekiness but it was still a shock when we heard. "Tommi obviously made a big impression on him and he was one of his favourite players so it's very special to us," she said. Tommi, who was diagnosed with leukaemia aged three, died last month after an unsuccessful attempt was made to carry out a bone marrow transplant. A family friend contacted Terry on Instagram to ask if he would like to contribute to the costs and he replied saying he would "love to help." John Terry replied to a family friend on Instagram to make the arrangements to pay for Tommi's funeral When he was told it was £1,600, Terry phoned up the funeral director to arrange the payment. He said it was a "pleasure" to meet the youngster, adding: "I'm sure his family and friends will give him the send off he deserves." The funeral will take place on Thursday, with those attending wearing either Chelsea shirts or the Cambridge United strip.

Wainy316 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 He's clearly done some knobbish things in the past but anyone I've spoken to that's met him says he's a thoroughly nice guy. A couple of weeks ago I would have nonsensed these claims mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I think Chester will become a better player if he plays alongside Terry. As long as it's just a one year deal with perhaps the chance of a second if we go up then financially I think it's an ok deal at £60k a week. It's quite a pleasant change for one of the top pros in England willing to drop down a level and probably look to cut his teeth in coaching and possibly management rather than just go for the Sky money or demand walking into a Prem club as manager. Hopefully we will be a Prem club next year anyway, but you know what I mean. As for his personality yes he does seem like an often decent bloke capable of doing some pretty word removedy things. Hopefully in one season the positive things would come through. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think so? I have no idea of Terry's coaching ability or if he has started doing any of his badges or so on but do you honestly think that he would permanently replace Bruce in the event of a poor start?

There's little to no chance John Terry will be the next villa manager. If Bruce does start badly then the new manager will be someone who can turn the ship around and make sure that we qualify for the playoffs at least. I can't imagine any scenario where our next manager would be someone who has zero management experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 2 hours ago, Lomaski said: My biggest concern, however, is his huge gambling problem which has forced him to re-mortgage his house twice and his cars are bought on tick. He is skint and Villa just may provide him with the pension bonus he is looking for. It does appear though, that his addiction hasn't seemed to affect his performances on the pitch. Any evidence of this other than a 5 year old Daily Mail article? Upon further investigation the remortgage was for £4m of renovations. Makes sense to remortgage and buy stuff on tick if the interest rates are low. Also in 2014 he made £10m selling his first house. I highly doubt he is anywhere near skint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the equivalent of one of us giving £50 to someone in need. If I had the opportunity to donate 10% of my weekly wage to pay for the funeral of a kid who I knew and who had died from luekemia I'd do it too. Not having a go or anything but celebrities, businesses and rich people get far too much credit in general for making, in terms of their own financial wealth, very small donations. Gambling companies are notorious for similar gestures to boost their own PR. Not saying that's what Terry did here or that he had anything other than good intentions but his generousity isn't generous at all, it's just the same as the donations most of us make to charities regularly. We just don't get an article in the paper about it. Edited June 22, 2017 by villa89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) Haha, are we really retrofitting JT as a person now to justify him possibly being one of ours? He obviously is a conflicting person, the bad things he has done outweigh saying nice things about stan and giving and paying 1% of one weeks wages (0.08% of his basic annual salary) to a family in need. No doubt that was a nice thing to do but hardly makes him philanthropist of the millennium. For perspective, it is about £15 from my yearly wage. Just like Gerrard and Rooney, the bloke is a grade a rocket polisher. I'll support him on the pitch, nothing more.

He was found guilty of racism by the F.A and the thing with Wayne Bridge was clearly accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
