By far the most famous of Terry's indiscretions, it's actually hard to believe that this story came to light in 2010 - it certainly doesn't look like anyone's going to forget it any time soon. In the build-up to the World Cup in South Africa, the national media discovered that not only had England's captain cheated on his wife, but that he'd done so with the partner of an England teammate, Wayne Bridge. Friends claim that Terry started his affair with model Vanessa Perroncel after she had split from Bridge, but the latter clearly saw it as a betrayal of trust, and refused to shake Terry's hand when he played against him, for Manchester City. Not only did he betray the trust of his wife and cause discord in the England camp before the World Cup, but he reportedly made Perroncel pregnant which led to her having an abortion. Whether the last detail was actually true or not, the whole affair showed Terry to be a pretty poor role model and not long later he was removed as captain of the national team.
