IF FABIO CAPELLO learnt only one thing at Wembley last night, it is that John Terry is exactly the type of man England will need in South Africa if they are to finally end so many years of hurt.
The Chelsea defender has had a tough time of it recently, albeit largely down to his own stupidity. However, in the wake of all the criticism that has come his way of late, Terry appeared to win large sections of the home support over with a typically solid display at the heart of the defence.
For all his faults off the pitch – and he certainly has a few – on it, Terry seldom lets his team-mates down. Playing alongside an unfamiliar backline of Wes Brown, Matthew Upson and Leighton Baines, the former captain held England together during a sloppy opening half, and by the time the final whistle sounded, the jeers had turned to cheers.
They say what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, and if that is true, I wouldn't like to pick a fight with JT any time soon.
