Disgraced football ace John Terry insists he is a family man to the core
Disgraced football ace John Terry insists he is a family man to the coreFormer England captain John Terry revealed he was nothing like the popular image portrayed of him being a hellraising, hard drinking womaniser but was more likely to be seen bathing his children and staying in.
The 29-year-old told Saturday's edition of 'The Times' -- an interview conducted before the revelations of his extra-marital affair with former Chelsea team-mate Wayne Bridge's ex-girlfriend which led to him being sacked as national captain -- that he rarely touched alcohol nowadays either after several embarrassing episodes which made the front pages of the tabloid press.
"I probably don't go out as much as I should do with my wife," said Terry, who has flown out with Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti's blessing to Dubai to try and patch up his marriage with wife Toni. "She tells me a lot we should go out more. I'm away with football a lot so when I get home I just really enjoy being at home, and its a case of having to get the balance right with my marriage, keeping the wife happy, keeping the kids happy, making sure everything runs smoothly."
Terry, who had tried England manager Fabio Capello's patience prior to the latest revelations with stories about him selling trips round the England training grounds, painted a picture of his qualities as a father -- something for which he won a 'Dad of the Year' award last year.
"Nine times out of 10 I will get in the bath with them (three year old twins, a girl and a boy) then get myself into my pyjamas and put my feet up, get ready for Eastenders (BBC soap opera).
