John Terry named Dad of the year

Resolve, excellence in their position, courage in the face of adversity, dignity in defeat and exceptional leadership – all the qualities needed to be Chelsea and England captain. And, err…the world’s greatest Dad.

Well, this one is a surprise. John Terry has today been handed a ‘Dad of the year award’ following a public poll undertaken by daddies sauce. The Chelsea centre-half won the award having fought off a brave battle from second placed father, Peter Andre. You can get the full lowdown on the Story at the Independent’s website, here.

I guess the sight of him playing football with his kids after the Blackburn game last month really has captured the nation's imagination. Can it really be that the media are finally taking to something at Chelsea, are ready to lavish praise upon its captain, laud him as a role model for millions and, Diana like, clutch him to their hearts?

Expect the Sun headline tomorrow: “John Terry fails to win mum of the year award'”.
