Terry, immature drunkard to a mature England captain. Congratulations.

Reprimanded for drunken and disorderly behavior back in September 2001 and charged on assaulting a nightclub bouncer in 2002, the immature and irresponsible John Terry grew into a fine man and good leader as the captain of Chelsea since 2003 leading them to back-to-back Premier League titles.

Very young at 25 years old, John is an excellent choice of McClaren for having the experience, leadership characteristics, responsibility and technical skills to lead England in successive years. He will develop and become more valuable for England and for the future of the team.

John Terry has this to say: It is the ultimate honor to be the captain of your country and I am very proud to be given this great opportunity. It is an incredible challenge and one I am looking forward to very much.

It was a close call between John Terry and Steven Gerrard as who will lead England with the latter serving as vice-captain of the team.

Terry brings with him a wealth of football knowledge having started with Chelsea at the age of fourteen and trained under the tutelage of four managers in the clubs' primary team.

He will play an important role in rebuilding the image of England from an underachiever to achiever and hopefully they come out successful in future international competitions.
