Parlour: 'There's no reason Terry shouldn't captain England'

He told Matchday Live: “He’s a great leader. He’s skippered Chelsea to many trophies and he’s led Chelsea along the way.

“But I look at the situation and there’s an argument to say is he going to play? Because there are a lot of good centre halves coming through now.

“Is he good enough to still be in the England side? I think he is at the moment and I’ve got no problems at all with him being skipper.

“He’s been there, he knows how to be a skipper. He’s made a mistake but he’s learnt from that and every time he’s gone out he’s given 110% when he’s put an England shirt on so why shouldn’t he be skipper.”
