John Terry has retained the England captaincy with Fabio Capello preferring to keep faith with the Chelsea defender in preference to Rio Ferdinand, who has been named vice-captain.bedroom furniture | cheap dvd movies | buy dvd uk | buy gps uk | buy cheap guitar | cheap laptop
The Chelsea defender admitted he had been nervous before he was told of the coach’s decision. “I think everybody realises it means the world to me, to retain the armband,” Terry said. “To get it back is a huge achievement.buy nintendo wii | discount shoes | buy wii | cheap cameras | canon cameras | casio watches
“The manager called the squad together and told us as a whole. For me to get it above the likes of him [Ferdinand] and the other players in the squad is a great honour.”cheap books | cheap cameras | cheap computers | cheap dvd movie | cheap furniture | cheap glasses
Terry admitted his surprised at being selected ahead of the Manchester United defender. “I’d never given up on the armband and never will do,” he said. “I’d heard the whispers Rio got the armband so I was a little bit shocked, but I’ve got to make the most of it.”cheap golf clubs | cheap gps | cheap guitars | cheap laptop | cheap lcd tv | cheap printers | cheap shoes
Capello revealed that it was Terry’s “big personality” that was the deciding factor in his decision. “Rio, when he was captain, played very well – the same level as John,” the Italian said. “It was not easy for me to choose because they are very good players. The big personality of John was the reason I chose him, but Rio is very important to the team.”

Terry will lead England in their World Cup qualifying campaign starting in Andorra on September 6. “We need to concentrate on qualifying and we have got the squad to do that,” he said. “We just need to do it on the pitch.”discount watches | cheap earrings | engagement rings | furniture london | garden furniture | discount garmin | guitars for sale | ladies shoes | mens shoes
Capello agreed that the team can make a fresh start after the disappointment of not qualifying for Euro 2008. “I think the season just starts for us. For the national team, it’s a very important season,” he said. “We have to work and play every game like a final.”cheap microwave | cheap nintendo wii | cheap running shoes | timberland boots | timberland shoes
Steve McClaren named Terry captain once David Beckham stepped down after the 2006 World Cup, but his position was put in doubt when Capello took charge and delayed naming his on-field lieutenant. Steven Gerrard, Ferdinand and Beckham – as well as Terry – were all given one game each to demonstrate their credentials and Ferdinand appeared to be the favourite.watches uk | cheap webkinz | discount webkinz | wedding ring | wii for sale
That Capello decided to persevere with Terry is a big lift for the Chelsea defender, who was distraught after missing the crucial penalty in the Champions League final shoot-out against Manchester United in May.
