John Terry: The highs and lows of the Chelsea captain John Terry was today banned for four matches and fined £220,000 after being found guilty of racially abusing QPR's Anton Ferdinand by a Football Association independent regulatory commission. Here, we take a look at the highs and lows of the Chelsea captain's career. HIGH - Makes Chelsea debut against Aston Villa in October 1998.

Terry, uncapped at the time, is ruled out of the World Cup by the FA until the legal case is completed. HIGH - Makes England debut as substitute against Serbia and Montenegro in June 2003. HIGH - Appointed Chelsea captain as the successor to Marcel Desailly in August 2004. HIGH - Succeeds David Beckham as England captain in August 2006.
