‘In 2003, MP who voted we Invade’.. as John Terry hits back at MP over criticism of Abramovich tribute
After Abramovich announced his decision to sell Chelsea, Chelsea legend John Terry posted a picture of the pair together and wrote on Twitter: “The best” along with three blue love heart emojis.
However, Labour MP Chris Bryant criticised Terry for his tribute to Abramovich and urged the former Chelsea captain to delete the post.
Chris Bryant told Terry on Twitter: “I think @JohnTerry26 you should take this down ASAP. The people of Ukraine are being bombed, shelled and murdered while you celebrate Abramovich.”
He then targeted the ex-England skipper in parliament, saying in front of MPs: “I do not know if you’ve seen this but he [Terry] has posted a photo with Abramovich who is one of Putin’s cronies. What will the people of Ukraine think of the former England football captain?”
Now, The former Chelsea captain John Terry has fired back at Chris Bryant after being criticised by the Labour MP for paying tribute to outgoing Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.
John Terry has responded to Bryant’s criticism by pointing to his decision to support Britain’s participation in the 2003 Iraq war and his role in the 2009 scandal over MPs’ expenses.
One user first wrote to Terry: “I don’t know if the BritishMP wants John Terry to erase his history with @ChelseaFC makes sense to anyone really baffles me.
“Roman Abramovich will forever be in the history of Chelsea FC & no one can change it. We thank you the great ROMAN with love.”
Terry then replied: “100% mate love heart emoji The same MP that claimed fortunes in expenses of the tax payers money. Also the same MP who voted that we invade Iraq clown emoji.”
