Steward hit by John Terry's car delays meeting with the Chelsea captain

The security guard who has hit by John Terry's car on Tuesday night has delayed his meeting with the Chelsea captain because he does not want to 'cause a fuss'. Steve Rowley, who is deputy security manager at the club, was hit by the England defender's Range Rover after Chelsea's 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Initial reports suggested that Mr Rowley had broken his leg but last night he released a statement confirming the collision had left it badly bruised. On his way: John Terry and wife Toni leave Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night Down: The security steward holds his injured leg Terry was not aware of the accident until he was telephoned at homein Oxshott and he was found to have no alcohol in his blood whenbreathalysed by Surrey Police. Phil Hall, spokesman for the former England captain, told PressAssociation Sport that Terry had intended to meet Mr Rowley today butthe security guard declined, saying that he did not want to cause afuss. Hall said: 'John rang him this morning and after training this afternoon to ask Steve how he was. 'Steve said he was fine and that he was resting up. John discussedvisiting him today but he just said: 'No, don't worry about it. It'snot worth the hassle, there's nothing that you can't say that youhaven't already done, it'll just turn into more of a media circus ifyou do come.'' 'John and Steve have now agreed to meet up some time in the nextweek at work. I don't know what John has planned. I think he wants itto remain private. 'Steve has been told he needs to rest for a one week but he thinks he could be back at work sooner.' Treatment: The man is attended to by medics Hall revealed that the 29-year-old will meet with Surrey Police again next week. 'John will have to meet the police as is the procedure for this kindof thing,' said Hall. 'The police officer who initiated the operationis off until next week apparently so he will talk to him then.' Terry has endured a tempestuous 2010 amid rumours of an affair with lingerie model Vanessa Perroncel. Reports about Terry's relationship with Ms Perroncel, the formerpartner of fellow England star Wayne Bridge, put pressure on teammanager Fabio Capello. The Italian stepped in to strip him of the England captaincy duringa short private meeting at Wembley at the beginning of February. Bridgelater made himself unavailable for the World Cup due to Terry'spresence in the squad. Terry's wife, Toni, was in the passenger seat at the time of Tuesday's incident.
