Allardyce open to Terry England return

Former England captain John Terry could be in line for a remarkable return to international football under Sam Allardyce.

England manager Sam Allardyce has suggested he will attempt to bring veteran Chelsea captain John Terry out of international retirement.

The last of Terry's 78 caps came against Moldova in September 2012 and he quit England duty later that month, before a Football Association (FA) hearing into allegations the defender abused Anton Ferdinand during Chelsea's defeat to QPR in October 2011.

The FA found Terry guilty and handed down a 22,000 pound fine and a four-match ban despite Westminster Magistrates' Court clearing him of the same accusation that July.
