10 Things John Terry Wants You To Forget

4. When He Put On His Kit To Celebrate

This was the incident which turned Terry into a meme. It's easy to forget what ridiculous behaviour it was from the Chelsea captain. Despite being suspended for the final, Terry decided that, as the captain throughout their European run, he should be the one to lift the Champions' League trophy. That was perhaps fair enough, but was it really necessary to change into his full kit to do it? He not only dressed in a spotless Chelsea kit, but also shinpads, to pose for photos with the trophy. Maybe he didn't want to get his suit dirty, but it's not like he couldn't afford a replacement. As long as the pictures of him celebrating at various historical events survive on the internet, it's unlikely anyone will forget this. But Terry undoubtedly wishes they would - it was a bizarrely arrogant moment which betrayed an astonishing lack of self-awareness.
