Terry stripped of England captaincy

John Terry was stripped of the England captaincy by coach Fabio Capello today following a media storm over his private life, and will be replaced by Rio Ferdinand.



The 31-year-old Ferdinand was overlooked for the job after Capello took charge in 2008.



Capello told Terry of the decision in a brief meeting at Wembley Stadium, a week after the married Chelsea defender lost a High Court battle to ban publication of details of an alleged relationship with England teammate Wayne Bridge\'s former girlfriend.



Terry says he fully respected Capello\'s decision to demote him, adding he will still \"give everything for England\".
