John Terry stripped of England captaincy
John Terry was stripped of the England captaincy by coach Fabio Capello on Friday ahead of the World Cup following a media storm over his private life, and will be replaced by Rio Ferdinand.
Capello told Terry of the decision in a brief meeting at Wembley Stadium, a week after the married Chelsea defender lost a High Court battle to ban publication of details of an alleged relationship with England teammate Wayne Bridge's former girlfriend. (AP)
