John Terry fires angry response after Neil Warnock labels Azpilicueta's career "lucky"

Middlesbrough manager brandished Chelsea hero Cesar Azpilicueta as "lucky" for his illustrious career.Snapped up for the bargain price of £6.5 million in 2012, Azpilicueta, 32, has guided Chelsea through arguably the most prominent period in their history, captaining the side to Champions League glory last season.The last time the Blues lifted the 'big ears' trophy was under former skipper John Terry, who famously donned a full Chelsea kit for the post-match celebrations despite playing no part in the final itself.But the Spaniard's honours list wasn't enough to convince Warnock he's worthy to represent the Blues on the field with the 73-year-old labelling him "a fortunate lad to be at a club like Chelsea."But from one Blues legend to another, Terry has jumped to defend Azpilicueta following Neil Warnock's appearance on TalkSPORT."Is this a wind up ? @talkSPORT" stated Terry alongside an angry face emoji.The ex-Chelsea ace also posted nine trophy emojis next to the comment in relation to the number of honours Azpilicueta has won whilst at the club.Former teammate Cesc Fabregas was also aghast by Warnock's comments, replying with a facepalm emoji.HAVE YOUR SAY! Do you think Cesar Azpilicueta is fortunate to be at Chelsea? Let us know in the comments section."I think Azpilicueta has been a very fortunate lad to be at a club like Chelsea. I don't think he is a great defender," said Warnock."Sometimes in football, you need a bit of luck and I think he's had a bit of luck at the right time and in the right place.

Sport's wildest ever streakers from Champions League final to naked darts display

first person to strip naked at a professional darts event.Whilst commentators and camera operators will attempt to pretend that the streaker does not even exist as play is stopped, many become infamous thanks to their antics.With this being said, here are five of sport's wildest ever streakers, including one who provided a naked darts display.It was perhaps apt that the streaker believed to be darts' first ever stripped naked during a match involving cult figure Ted Hankey.The Count was taking on Shaun Greatbatch in the first round of the BDO World Darts Championship back in 2001 when a naked woman disrupted play.She was able to run onto the stage fully nude, waving her hands around before being removed by security staff.The crowd did give her a standing ovation as she was removed whilst the players took a break before resuming play, with the iconic Hankey going on to win.Social media influencer Kinsey Wolanski made headlines back in 2019 when she ran onto the pitch during the Champions League final in Madrid.She was not naked, though, instead wearing a black swimsuit promoting the porn website of her then boyfriend Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, who himself got invaded the pitch during the 2014 World Cup final.Wolanski's antics caused her followers to sky rocket as she gained over two million followers on Instagram alone after the incident.However, she was arrested by Spanish police once removed from the pitch and spent the night in a jail cell.Whilst most streakers do so as a one-time thing, others have instead chosen to make a career out of being a pitch invader.Mark Roberts certainly falls into this category, having begun his streaking career in 1993 before later 'retiring' two decades later in 2013.He did come out of

Aston Villa given £50m transfer budget as Steven Gerrard makes two-man midfield shortlist

Aston Villa are ready to launch a summer bid to land Leicester midfielder Wilfred Ndidi.Villa boss Steven Gerrard’s number one target is getting a high-quality defensive midfielder into the club.And he’ll have £50m at his disposal to get the man he wants.Brighton’s Yves Bissouma and Ndidi are top of his list and he’s desperate to land one of them.Villa have already failed in one bid to get Mali international Bissouma from The Seagulls.They submitted a formal £30m offer for the 25-year-old last month but hit a brick wall.Bissouma has 18 months left on his contract but with Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle also showing interest, Brighton could wait for a bidding war to start to get nearer their £45m valuation.Gerrard has already indicated that he’s prepared to revisit that in the summer, saying: "We put in a bid for Bissouma which was turned away, and we respected it."If a move is not right then we might have to be patient and that’s where we are right now.”But he also has Ndidi right up at the top of his wish list as he prepares for his first summer transfer window at the club since making the move south from Rangers.Nigerian international Ndidi signed a bumper six-year deal at Leicester in 2018 which ties him to the club until the summer of 2024.Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers would actively resist any moves for the player but knows The Foxes could be prone to a big enough offer.Villa’s ambitious board have already shown they are prepared to back Gerrard by sanctioning the £25m arrival of Lucas Digne and the sensational loan deal which brought Philippe Coutinho from Barcelona.And he’ll have a big summer war chest regardless of whether they decide to cash in on midfielders John McGinn and Douglas Luiz.Scotland
