Capello strips Terry of England captaincy

John Terry has been sacked as England captain. The 29-year-old was informed of the decision by Fabio Capello during a brief meeting at Wembley on Friday afternoon. The decision comes after allegations surrounding the Chelsea skipper's private life came to light. "After much thought I have made the decision that it will be best for me to take the captaincy away from John Terry," said the Italian in a statement.
