Former Chelsea captain John Terry recently expressed strong disapproval after a video surfaced showing current Chelsea captain, Reece James being pranked by his barber with a Tottenham Hotspur shirt.
In the video, Reece James is seen at A Star Barbers, a salon known for styling various Premier League players. As James awaited his haircut, the barber draped a cloak over him that featured a Tottenham Hotspur jersey. Upon realizing, James immediately removed the cloak, and both he and the barber shared a laugh over the prank.
John Terry, upon viewing the video on Instagram, did not find the prank amusing. He commented: “If you f****** try this with me I will throw you and that s*** shirt out the shop.” This reaction underscores Terry’s longstanding rivalry with Tottenham and his deep-rooted loyalty to Chelsea.
Terry’s comment elicited a range of responses from fans. Many Chelsea supporters praised his unwavering loyalty, with one stating, “That’s our captain, that mentality won us title after title.” Another added, “Never change John Terry.” Conversely, some Tottenham fans viewed his reaction as excessive, suggesting that the prank was lighthearted and should have been taken in stride.
This incident highlights the intense rivalry between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, two prominent London football clubs. Terry’s reaction reflects the deep-seated competitive spirit that often characterizes interactions between players and supporters of these teams.
