nobody's perfect.

thirteen months ago, fabio Capello stripped john terry of the england captaincy stating that terry would never be england captain again as long as he was in charge. however, a year or so later and it seems as if fabio could be making a dramatic u-turn. last month's win second half in copenhagen signalled that a permanent england captain is desperately neccesary. the last half an hour of the game was spent passing the armband from player to player, yet argubably the player with the most captain-like qualities, was left to watch the game of 'pass the armband' from a distance without participating.
seeing as offical captain and vice captain (ferdinand and gerrard) seem to be out of the games against wales and ghana at the end of the month, many have argued that capello should reinstate terry for these games or maybe even in the long term.
a few people in the media have come out and said that terry deserved to have the captain's armband taken away from him and that he doesnt deserve to get it back. i disagree with both parts of that sentence.
john terry was said to be a bad captain because of events in his not-so-private life. yet the first thing capello did after sacking terry was to appoint ferdinand as captain, hardly a man known his quiet life, more like trouble follows him everywhere he goes. vice captain steven gerrard has been in court and wayne rooney is no role model off the field. england's most capped full back is never off the tabliod's front pages, most recently for shooting a work experience student with a rifle!
all fantastic players but nowhere near perfect off the pitch. john terry: a fantastic player but had his responsibilities as a captain taken away from him because of off the field actions. seems rather hypocritical doesn't it?
capello shouldn't be pressured by the media into making a decision as he is in charge and he should do what he thinks is best.but if he's looking for a captain who leads by example on the pitch and gives their all in every game for england, look no further than john terry. nobody's perfect.
