John Terry - Shouted racist abuse at Ledly King in a match against Spurs, there's a lot of denial about this from him, but clearly happened from looking at the footage. He shouted racist abuse at Tevez whilst spitting at him in the Champions league final, again denied but is very clear. He's been in numerous brawls, one of the major ones reported was with Jodie Morris where he punched a bouncer in the face and broke his own hand in doing so. Also urinating on a dancefloor at Wright-Phillips party.
I wont link to any of these because obviously it's not clever with this being a family forum but you can easily find what i've been talking about.

I personally dont think JT is a decent role model and to be honest I feel there are very few role models in footy. My faves have been Solskaar and Berkamp.
I was very suprised about the racist thing but isn't it a common thing (im not condoning it - i think racism is disgusting) in football where players make racist comments to each other and deny they are racist because they have black friends and team mates.
Didnt Schmiechal call Wright a black so and so? And I thought he was a pretty decent chap.
