According to The Daily Telegraph newspaper, Mr Terry had been asked how many times he had received red cards during his career. He replied by saying he had been sent off four times. However, he was asked to repeat his answer, so that the court could hear him.
‘Can you say, please, four times?’ asked his QC, George Carter-Stephenson. ‘Please, please, please, please,’ Mr Terry responded.
Mr Terry then reportedly looked on in bemusement, as chuckles broke out around the courtroom.
