John Terry has been stripped of the England captaincy for the second time in his career.
Terry was called at just before 10am this morning by Football Association chairman David Bernstein to announce the decision of the FA board.
And it places the FA on a collision course with manager Fabio Capello, who had told the FA he still wanted Terry to be his captain at the European Championships in the summer.

Terry is due to stand trial on July 9, accused of racially abusing Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand.
And since a court date was set for after the European Championships, he has faced repeated calls to be stood down as England captain.
