FRIDAY FIVEForget Tuesday's win over Manchester United, it's been a tough old week off the field for champions Chelsea. [LNB]Particularly for boss Carlo Ancelotti, who was plunged into the firing line and left to deny claims that his squad are unruly and out of control after Ashley Cole shot 21-year-old work placement student Tom Cowan with an air rifle.[LNB] Cole of duty: Several internet virals depicting Ashley Cole with an air ridle have emerged since his shameful behaviour came to light[LNB]Indeed, it was yet another blow for the club's reputation, following on from a string of controversies involving star players that have blighted the Blues in recent times. [LNB]Sportsmail takes a look back at the other Chelsea bad boys whose troublemaking brought shame on the club and caused a stir in the headlines.[LNB] Dennis WiseThe combative midfielder was twice voted the club's player of the year and skippered the Blues to victory in the FA Cup in 1997 and 2000, as well as the League Cup and UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1998. [LNB]But Wise was stripped of the captaincy back in 1995 after he was dealt a three-month jail sentence for assaulting a London cab driver. [LNB]The verdict was later overturned on appeal but Sir Alex Ferguson once said Wise could 'start a fight in an empty room.'[LNB]John TerryCurrent Chelsea captain Terry lost the armband of the national side after allegations of his affair with England team-mate Wayne Bridge's ex-girlfriend came to light. [LNB]But his antics didn't start there. He had a penchant for partying and missed the 2002 World Cup because of a lawsuit over a nightclub skirmish. He was derided for questionable money-making schemes.[LNB] Caught out: Wayne Bridge refused to shake John Terry's hand following his alleged affair with his former team-mates girlfriend[LNB] And his family even got in on the act, with his mother cautioned for shoplifting and his Dad selling drugs to an undercover reporter.[LNB]Jody MorrisMorris was once Terry's partner-in-crime.
