Terry gets Frank with boo-boys

17 January 2007
Skipper Terry, who will miss Wednesday night's vital European Championship qualifier in Russia because with a knee injury, believes the treatment being handed out to his Chelsea team-mate is unfair.
Lampard was again the victim of the boo-boys when he was introduced as a second-half substitute against Estonia at Wembley on Saturday, and Terry insisted: "I'd like to speak on behalf of all the players. We are not impressed by the section of the crowd that are singling Frank out and it sends a bad message throughout the whole team."
He added: "Frank is a very good mate of mine and a fantastic player. The England fans realise that as well. They voted him England's best player two years running.
"We all know what he can do, what he has done, and he is still a world-class player and we just urge everyone in England to get behind him and show their full support, not only to Frank but the whole team.
"There are a section of the crowd who are not doing that. The small kids of the future, our future fans, are seeing that and it is not a nice message to send to them.
"It is not fair because Frank has done awesomely for England over the period he has been involved, scored great goals, performed very well in big tournaments.
"It has happened in the past with Owen Hargreaves and Peter Crouch. It always seems someone gets picked on and it is not nice.
"Frank is definitely strong enough to deal with this. This message isn't coming from Frank. This is coming from me and other players who noticed it and aren't impressed. We urge that section of the fans to cut out the booing."
