John Terry lays into Robbie Savage for pundit’s criticism

When asked about which story had hurt him the most, Terry admitted the need to “take it on the chin” when the likes of Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher had taken him to task.

“When certain other people speak, maybe I don’t listen,” Terry said in a press conference ahead of Chelsea’s Champions League meeting with Dinamo Kiev.

“When players who haven’t had a career…come for people who’ve achieved what I achieved. Robbie Savage being one.”

Over to you, Robbie…
