Former England captain John Terry has announced his retirement from playing. The 37-year-old has hung up his boots and is expected to focus on a career in management. Terry turned down a move to Spartak Moscow last month, despite reportedly having a medical, saying it was not right for his family. His last game as a professional was Villa’s 1-0 Championship play-off final defeat to Fulham in May. Terry won 78 England caps, five Premier League titles with Chelsea, five FA Cups and three League Cups.
