Cheerio? The latest revelation has further destabilised Terry's position


John Terry faced new questions last night over his fitness to be England captain.
A Daily Mail investigation found his personal box at Wembley being 'touted out' for £4,000 a match.

Terry's contract to rent the luxurious 12-seater facility is subsidised to the tune of tens of thousands a year as one of his 'perks' as national team skipper. Its terms expressly forbid hiring it out.

But yesterday the Mail was offered exclusive use of it for England's friendly against Egypt next month by an associate of Terry's management agents.

'It's John Terry's box and you can have it,' said the go-between. 'It will be £4,000 and we would want the money in cash.' He said the player would provide a signed England or Chelsea shirt as 'part of the deal'.

The revelation comes as England manager Fabio Capello prepares to meet the Chelsea star, a married father of two, to discuss the sex scandal that has called his international career into question.

Terry had a five-month affair with Vanessa Perroncel, the estranged partner of his England team-mate Wayne Bridge, then tried to cover it up with a court 'super-injunction'.


Facing questions: John Terry with his wife Toni

Terry, 29, who earns £170,000 a week as Chelsea captain, is now likely to be asked to explain why his box is being offered to outsiders. The facility guarantees seats not only for football but also rugby, American football and non-sporting events including top pop concerts.

The Wembley scheme is revealed six weeks after Terry and an associate showed reporters posing as businessmen around Chelsea's training ground in Surrey, in return for £10,000 in £50 notes.
The box was offered to the Mail by Anthony White, 35, sales and marketing manager at the David Beckham Academy until it closed down last month.
