John Terry, Chelsea defender, has a faced further shame after his father; Ted Terry was caught dealing drugs, adding to the damage that has been done to his reputation in the last 12 months. The former England captain was still suffering the effects of his affair with an ex-girlfriend of England team-mate Wayne Bridge, when an undercover reporter was sold cocaine by his father, 55, in an Essex bar.

Ted Terry, 55, was recorded saying “The stuff’s all right, I get off on it.” when he was recorded organising a drug deal to supply three grams of the class A drug to an undercover reporter at a price of 120, making just 40 profit.

Terry Senior, who’s son is on 170,000 a week, then told the reporter not to mention where it came from. “This is between me and you,” he said. “Don’t tell him I’m John Terry’s dad.” He is due to appear at Basildon Magistrates Court on may 13th.

He faces a maximum sentence of 6 months or a 5,000 fine if he is convicted. Last year Terry’s mother Sue and his mother-in-law both accepted a caution for shoplifting in Marks & Spencer last year.

The scandal is another humiliating blow to his image, adding to the damage caused by his extra-marital affair with the ex-girlfriend of his England teammate Wayne Bridge. The media scandal cost Terry his England captaincy and Bridge felt the need to quit the team ahead of the World cup in South Africa this June. John, who has an estimated fortune of 10million, reportedly knew nothing about the alleged drug dealing.

Terry could face huge repercussions of the actions of his father if his name continues to tarnish British football with suggestions that he might lose his position in the England team and his Chelsea captaincy. After his affair and his mother’s shoplifting incident, Terry has faced numerous abusive chants from fans of his team and the opposition. Something which is said to be taking it’s toll on his moral and ability to concentrate in the game.
