John Terry Reveals He Felt Used by England FA Like Piece of Meat

What was said

"Yeah, massively. I don't know the word for it actually. A little bit of a piece of meat for your country and kind of we use you as and when. The FA promised me that if I'd kind of gone to the camp in Portugal, that they would have a plane waiting for me. Later down the line, I got assurances free the court case, that I would be trusted whatever happened in the court of law, that the FA would follow suit. They didn't, that they went behind my back completely."

Former England captain John Terry disclosed deep resentment toward the FA for broken promises and feeling exploited during his international career. He revealed the FA reneged on commitments about providing transport for his child's birth and supporting him through a court case. Terry contrasted this with Chelsea, where he felt consistently supported, saying England used players when needed then quickly discarded them.
