John Terry backs England new boys with fine PFA Team of the Year and Player of the Year votes

No room for Rooney?

Chelsea skipper supports Spurs.

Whoever said the London rivalry was fierce, they were exaggerating. Well, either that or John Terry just respects good footballers.

The former England captain has backed Harry Kane as the Premier League Young Player of the Year and he’s gone and picked a lovely XI of footballers that most impressed him this year in the top flight.

As standard practice, the Chelsea player couldn’t select any Chelsea player, not that it would’ve made much of a difference. Or so you’d hope anyway.

So Terry went with seven Leicester men, one Spurs, one United, one Southampton and one West Ham.

Kane and Vardy were chosen up top, the same pair the English nation have been crying for to start at Euro 2016 – especially after the Germany victory.

No room for Rooney, obviously.

Leighton Baines could be feeling the pressure with Ryan Bertrand – a former team mate at Chelsea – picked by JT whilst West Morgan and Danny Drinkwater make up the spine in a team that consists of six English men.

Here him for he has spoken.
