Frank Lampard takes the pee out of superstitious John Terry: I get out of his way when he needs the toilet, says Chelsea star
Taking the pee: 'It's alright JT, Carlo was only joking when he said your urinal was out of order'
John Terry may be the England captain, arguably one of the best defenders in European football and a cult hero at Chelsea but that doesn't prevent him from being a little odd.
In what has to rank among football's wackiest superstitions, Terry revealed to Chelsea's club magazine that he has to use the same urinal in the Stamford Bridge dressing room.
The 29-year-old defender said: 'It’s true. When the dressing room was installed, for some reason I could only go there. And the foreign lads don’t really get why I’m waiting behind them when there’s plenty of spaces elsewhere!'
And Terry's number two Frank Lampard, admits he even gets out of the way of his team-mate when he needs, well, a number one.
'I know John likes to have a wee in the right hand side urinal!' Lampard said. 'If I’m standing there and I’m ready to go but I see John coming up, I’ll move…. you’ve got to have your captain right for the game!'
Leave it out Carlo! Ancelotti can't stop singing
Terry also revealed that new manager Carlo Ancelotti went beyond the call of duty when called upon to sing a song as part of the traditional initiation ceremony at the club.
He said: 'To be fair to him he got up straight away but I can’t remember what he sang. Even when his wife came to say hello to him at a Champions League hotel, he got her up on a chair and singing in front of the lads – so fair play to him!
'She sang an Italian song – and was quite good actually. I think she was up for ten minutes!'
The two England team-mates also share an ambition to be the Chelsea boss. Terry said: 'Would I want to come back and be Chelsea manager? Listen, I’d love to. Me, Frank and Ashley Cole are looking into doing our badges at the end of this season.'
Lampard added: 'We’re at least going to look into doing our badges by the time we pack up, put it that way. Then it’ll be a fight to see who can be Chelsea manager first!'
