Terry in the spotlight
ENGLAND and CHELSEA captain JOHN TERRY found himself on the front page of every British newspaper this morning, after the high court lifted an injunction barring the press from reporting on his private life.Terry is alleged to have had an affair with an ex-girlfriend of his former Chelsea team-mate Wayne Bridge.
The courts had originally granted Terry a "superinjunction," a British legal ruling that even prohibited newspapers from even revealing who had applied to stop the story on privacy grounds.
The newspapers had a field day.
"Terry cheats with Bridge's" Missus," said The Sun.
"Terry's affair with team-mate's girl," said The Mirror.
"England captain's affair with team mate's girlfriend," said The Mail.
"England captain's secret affair," said The Daily Express.
Even the venerable Times trumpeted:
"John Terry affair claims disclosed after super-injunction is lifted."
Naturally, Terry found himself center stage on the pitch today as well. He headed Chelsea's winner in their 2-1 away victory at BURNLEY.
We watched the match live on FOX SOCCER CHANNEL.
I just shook my head when Terry headed in Frank Lampard's corner late in the match.
You couldn't have scripted it.

That's a bizzare thing with the English press... Every time the World Cup comes around a sort of unwritten campaign to destroy their moral. It's as if the tabloids don't want England to win it.
(Four years ago Sven was their target, before that Beckham.)
They've started early this time round with J "Shagger" T, which will be forgotten in a couple of months. - When they've found their next target.
