Wining a cup competition still requires winning more than one match though?

So all the players ( those nameless souls who appear in Carlng Cup early rounds ) should also go up for the cup on match day ?

Bit different for the club captain though.

Not the best resource but sky news said

Repeating his actions at Chelsea's previous European final, in Munich 12 months ago, Terry adhered to Uefa regulations and put on his full match kit for the presentation of the trophy.
Well done John Terry for following the rules. :rofl:


Apparently

In fairness to the former England skipper, he was not the only Chelsea player to parade around in full kit despite not playing. Marko Marin, Oriol Romeu and Ryan Betrand all helped celebrate the win in full-kit.

"Of course there was then the slightly awkward (although not to the central character) sight of an injured John Terry slipping into the same telephone box he used in Munich to remove his suit in an instant and emerge in his Chelsea kit to lift the trophy with Frank Lampard.
There was no truth in the suggestion Terry had invested in a replica Benfica outfit just in case things turned bad and he was in danger of not hoisting the great prize."

I saw that.

I think if I had to name my top two Premier League All star 11's he'd be omitted. But there is definitely a case for him being in the Top 5 Premier League right midfielders of all time and his set piece skills are as good as any so I think he has a case for Top 50 and Top 100.

He has also been consistently good over long spells.

Someone like Harry Kewell was a better footballer who squandered his talent. Players like Michael Owen (World Class once) also faded much faster.

I'd agree with those.

Did anyone hear about the well known footballer who donned his full kit after the match in which he didn't play to celebrate his team's trophy win?

Step forward Lionel Messi.
