For someone with a litany of shame as long as John Terry's, it should come as no surprise that the England defender should end his international career by walking out on his country. Terry announced on Sunday night he would no longer make himself available for England national team duty, citing an impending disciplinary hearing related to allegations of racist abuse directed at an opposing player last season. While a British court cleared Terry of criminal charges over his verbal clash with Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand, English soccer's governing body, The Football Association, ordered its own inquest into the events that took place during QPR's 1-0 victory over Terry's Chelsea last October. "I am today announcing my retirement from international football," Terry said in a statement. Source:Yahoo Sports
