Chelsea FC's captain and former England captain John Terry has announced his retirement from international soccer.
The England international's management team announced his sudden retirement from international soccer.
Terry blamed the English F.A. for his decision saying the F.A. made his position untenable. The F.A. had earlier in the year unceremoniously removed him as England's captain which prompted the resignation of former England coach Fabio Capello on the same racism banter accusations between him and Anton Ferdinand which the courts have already cleared John Terry of!
Here's the full statement released by his management team:
"I am today announcing my retirement from international football.
"I would like to thank the England managers who have selected me for my 78 caps.
"I have had great pleasure in sharing that honour with all the players that I've played with.
"I would like to thank them, the fans and my family for their support and encouragement during my international career.
"Representing and captaining my country is what I dreamed of as a boy and it has been a truly great honour.
"I have always given my all and it breaks my heart to make this decision.
"I want to wish Roy [Hodgson] and the team every success for the future.
"I am making this statement today in advance of the hearing of the FA disciplinary charge because I feel the FA, in pursuing charges against me where I have already been cleared in a court of law, have made my position with the national team untenable.
"I now look forward to playing for Chelsea FC, and challenging for domestic and European honours, and I want to thank the fans and the club for their continued support."
We here respect your move it's always good to leave when the ovation is loudest!
