The third of our Untold World Cup Stories series, looking back at the behind the scenes stories from our journalists covering the 2010 tournament in South Africa

With the countdown on to this summer’s World Cup, we’ve launched a new series going behind the scenes of some of the big moments and untold stories of recent tournaments, from 2002 to 2022.

How Terry news conference exploded England camp

John Cross: It was a glorious sunny day at the Royal Bafokeng training ground in South Africa. No-one expected storm clouds to be gathering an hour later after one of the most memorable and remarkable press conferences in England’s World Cup history.

John Terry started his round of press duties in front of the TV cameras on Sunday, June 20, putting on the tried-and-trusted united front of a senior player backing the under-fire manager after a poor start to the 2010 World Cup.

By the end of the session, Terry had questioned Fabio Capello’s leadership, revealed he had gone to the Italian’s backroom staff to demand the players be allowed a beer and also called for Joe Cole to be put into the starting line-up.

It was as close to a player revolt that you could imagine. And probably as close as England have ever come to a complete meltdown during a tournament.

Terry ended up having to make a public apology, other players were left furious and Capello publicly condemned the former Chelsea player.

It was an amazing episode in England World Cup history. As someone who was there, there was absolutely no sense when Terry started talking that it was going to end so badly.

In fact, Terry started in front of the TV cameras by backing his manager to the hilt despite the fact England had begun their campaign with a 1-1 draw against the United States and then shared a dismal goalless draw with Algeria.

But Terry then went on to reveal there was a players’ meeting that evening with Capello and his staff – and he was ready to lead the call to challenge the manager’s tactics.

Terry also slammed England’s performance against Algeria when they were booed off but it felt pretty clear that he was also challenging Capello’s management and the mood in the camp.

Chelsea legend Terry said they needed Joe Cole’s creativity as he latched on to a question about his teammate – and went too far. Managers do not like players picking their team.

By the end, Terry was insisting that they should be able to relax with a beer which also went against Capello’s whole managerial outlook.

Parts of the TV interview are out there on the internet with Terry, looking a little flushed with the sun beating down outside and making the media tent rather humid, giving what felt like a run-of-the-mill interview.

England had been dull, laboured and short of ideas with Rooney turning on fans at the end of the Algeria game. He ranted into a TV camera after England were booed off.

There was dissent in the air – but it was Terry who misjudged the mood.

When asked about Cole, Terry said: “If he’s called on, Joe will do a great job… I personally think he and Wayne Rooney are the only two in the side who can really open up things.”

It was obvious that Terry had points to make – but scored a spectacular own goal.

This, do not forget, was the World Cup where the France squad revolted – and forced Raymond Domenech out of a job after a tournament of strikes, rows and recriminations.

Even though Terry had a message, I do not believe that he realised the gravity of what he was saying. He wanted to have his say – but misread the situation.

To be honest, a few of us did not realise just how big this story was until our phones started blowing up on the way back to our media accommodation which was a short coach ride away.

It was quickly evident that Terry was a lone voice. Other players – largely through their agents and contacts – were genuinely staggered at what had been said.

The betrayal of a private meeting. Terry painting the picture of him speaking on behalf of the players. It really was not like that.

He was a great Chelsea captain. But Terry was a divisive figure for England at times even though he was unquestionably a world class defender.

Later, Terry even issued a public apology. “I went into yesterday’s press conference with the intention of being honest,” he said.

“I was asked a question about Joe Cole and maybe I went too far. But it was never my intention to upset the manager or the players and, if I did upset anyone, I apologise.

“I have told the manager he has my total support and I would like to stress that I don’t believe I have been a disruptive influence in the camp.

“I would now like to put this episode behind me and concentrate on trying to win what is a massive game for England. All I was trying to do was to say how important it is to me to try to win the World Cup.”

Clearly, Terry still thought his big mistake was about Cole (who was only a substitute in the next game against Slovenia) and it was not quite a full apology… more of an “if I upset anyone” cop out.

The reality was that England players WERE bored in that camp. They definitely underperformed and underachieved under Capello and the players were very divided on him. By the end, most were happy to see him go.

But the real lesson here was that you cannot have a revolt mid-tournament and also they do not like it when a player speaks on behalf of everyone – especially if they did not agree.

It all played out badly. England qualified for the knock-out, got thrashed by Germany 4-1 in the next round and went home.

Capello, meanwhile, was sitting pretty with a new contract signed on the eve of the 2010 World Cup. Stories linking him with a return to club management appeared before the tournament, the FA panicked and regretted it.

And it was another chapter in Terry’s colourful and controversial career because, just four months earlier, he had been stripped of the captaincy after revelations about an affair with former teammate Wayne Bridge’s ex-girlfriend.

Incredibly, 18 months later, Capello – who had reinstated Terry as captain in March 2011 – quit because he was angry that the FA wanted to remove the armband from Terry pending the outcome of a court case over allegations he racially abusing QPR’s Anton Ferdinand.

Terry was later cleared in court but banned and fined by the FA.

Hassani was found with 19 bags of cocaine at the police station

A man who told police he was being forced to sell drugs by gangs has been jailed after officers discovered he was lying. Abdulrahman Hassani, 24, contact the police last month and claimed he was fearing for his life after being exploited by Albanian gangs and forced to sell drugs.

When Hassani was interviewed, his story did not add up. He contradicted himself, was unwilling to give access to his phone, and was unable to tell police who was exploiting him.

He would often change the subject and request accommodation from the police. Hassani was arrested and officers found £750 in cash, 19 bags of cocaine, and two mobile phones on his person while at the station. Messages on his phone revealed evidence of drug dealing but no signs of exploitation.

It was also revealed that Hassani was in the country illegally, having failed numerous bids for asylum under different names, and there was evidence he had told the same lie in another country. Hassani, of Jopling Way, Hauxton, near Cambridge, plead guilty to being concerned in the supply of cocaine.

He was sentenced to one year and eight months in prison at Peterborough Crown Court on Thursday, February 19.

Detective Constable Sam Andrews, who investigated, said: “Hassani clearly thought he could pull the wool over our eyes and secure himself some free accommodation, despite his clear intention and willingness to make money from dealing drugs.

“We take incidents of exploitation incredibly seriously and will always look to support and safeguard genuine victims and bring perpetrators to justice.

“In this instance, Hussani was not a victim, but a perpetrator, and the knowledge and expertise of officers left his story lacking and evidence mounting against him.

“I’m glad justice has been done, with more drugs and another dealer taken off our streets.”

Last summer, Lisa McHugh was hospitalised after temporarily losing the use of both legs and experiencing excruciating pain in her face and head. Following extensive tests, she was eventually diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), a condition that affects how the brain and nervous system send and receive signals.

“It basically means there’s a nervous system problem and your brain isn’t sending the signals properly to your limbs or body. They call it a software problem in your brain, not a hardware problem,” Lisa explains.

The diagnosis saw her go from touring and raising two young children – Milo, now four, and Hallie, 18 months – to being unable to carry them and relearning how to walk using a frame.

And speaking to RSVP Country, the country singer says while the past year has been the hardest of her life, it is also somehow one she is deeply grateful for. And she admits while excited about returning to the stage, she has learned the importance of prioritising her own health after years of pushing herself to the brink.

“We’re seven months into recovery, and I keep reminding myself that this wasn’t like having a tooth pulled – you lost your body”, she admits.

“My body basically shut down, the nervous system completely shut down, brought on by a lot of things. Stress is a big one; there was a lot going on at home, with my family, with Hallie not being well. There were worrying times, and all of that took its toll on me. I didn’t look after myself the way I should have,” she reflects.

“Recovery-wise, I’m good with everyday things, but I want to do gigs and live performances again at the level I was doing them, without feeling completely exhausted for days after. That will take time – I need to build up slowly and give my body a chance to get back into the swing of things. But I fully believe I will be fine again.”

However, she insists she will never return to the hectic pace of her former life, adding: “I’ll get back to performing while managing my energy carefully. I won’t put myself in the position I was in this time last year because I know that only ends one way, and that’s the last thing we want.”

Speaking about the stresses that lead up to her becoming so depleted she discussed how like so many working mothers, she tried to do it all: “I definitely know I was wearing a lot of hats, or trying to.

“Hallie was very sick and in and out of hospital for most of last year, which was very worrying. You have the constant stresses of being self-employed, trying to get enough hours in the day, dealing with the kids, and then thinking about social media, gigs, emails. Are there things I’ve missed? Then school, shopping, dinners, being a wife, a daughter, a mother – all of those things take a toll.

“I’ve had to learn that there are things I need to do that are non-negotiable. But there are some things I can do tomorrow. At the end of the day, your health is the most important thing, and the health of your family.

“Work is important, but it’s not life or death if you don’t get back to that email until the following day. It’s about balancing everything and making sure I have even half an hour to myself to rest and recharge.”

While the past year has been extraordinarily difficult, Lisa reveals it has also strangely changed her for the better, and shown her what is most important in her life.

“I 100% believe that. As tough as it was and still is, I also feel very lucky,”, she reveals.

“It could have been much worse. I might not have had the outcome or the chance of recovery and to reset things like I have. So yeah, it’s been tough, but I feel very lucky that it happened because it made me physically stop.

“I knew I was run down, tired, struggling, stressed, but I clearly wasn’t willing to stop and relax. So my body said, okay, if you’re not going to stop, we’ll make you stop. Looking back, what did I expect? It was only a matter of time, and thank God it was this and not something worse.”

She also shared her gratitude for her fans, who have showed Lisa an outpouring of love and support through her illness: “The response was overwhelming – the messages, cards, flowers, gifts, emails were constant, and still are to this day. I genuinely have the best fans in the world. Their prayers, well wishes, and support have helped me get to where I am now.”

Naga Munchetty has allegedly taken a dig at Sally Nugent’s glamorous new look, which she revealed on Instagram thus month, and issued a bizarre insult about her BBC Breakfest co-star

Naga Munchetty is alleged to have ‘ruffled feathers’ with comments about Sally Nugent’s glamorous new look. Naga, 51, is best known for fronting BBC Breakfast but in more recent months has come under fire amid allegations of bullying on set. The allegations were eventually turned into a formal investigation.

According to insiders, Naga issued a bizarre dig aimed at co-star Sally, 54, following her glossy makeover, claiming that she looked as if she was about to take up a job on the “less serious” rival channel with her new look.

According to The Sun, Naga said: “We’re meant to be serious journalists, not trying to look like we’re presenting This Morning!”

An insider then claimed that Sally’s new look has caused some upset backstage and Naga’s comment was a “nasty little moment” amid the ongoing investigation.

A source told the outlet: “Sally’s had a glow-up and her new do is looking fantastic. But it ruffled feathers as is often the way in the showbiz industry, There were a couple of remarks about it and Naga particularly made a comment about them being journalists not This Morning hosts.

“Things have been ticking along fairly quietly for the last couple of months whilst the bullying investigations continued but this was a nasty little moment!”

A BBC spokesperson told The Mirror: “We do not comment on individual staff issues.”

Naga has been a part of the programme for over a decade and normally presents with Charlie Stayt from Thursdays to Saturdays, whilst Sally takes the reins at the start of the week alongside Jon Sen.

Sally posted her glamorous new look onto social media earlier this month, and tagged Calum Tierney, who has worked with Coronation Street stars Samia Longchambon and Michelle Keegan in the past.

She instantly won praise from several of her celebrity pals, with Morning Live’s Helen Skelton leaving three fire emojis in the comments section, whilst Strictly Come Dancing professional Nadiya Bychkova said: “Gorgeous” and Michelle Ackerley said: “Beautiful [red heart emoji]”

Towards the end of last year, a string of claims made against Naga, who also presents on BBCRadio 5 Live. Allegations relating to Naga vary from allegedly hitting out at an intern for spreading Marmite on her toast incorrectly, and making an unwanted sexual remark to a female colleague.

Naga also allegedly hit out, claiming her porridge was “too hot” and she wasn’t a fan of blueberries, which had been used as a topping. BBC Breakfast boss Richard Frediani had also faced accusations of bullying before Naga and her co-anchor, Charlie Stayt, faced claims. The complaints about Frediani were not upheld. Stayt is said to remain “under review”.

The workplace culture review, led by management consultant Grahame Russell from Change Associates, was launched in the wake of the furore over disgraced former newsreader Huw Edwards.

At the time, a source said: “Naga has not been taken off air but now has certain members of production monitoring her and her interactions.

“She’s only allowed to speak to specific people too. It’s far from ideal as a way of working and everyone hopes it comes to a head someway or another soon!”

US President Donald Trump delivered his State of the Union address at the US Capitol, outlining his administration’s accomplishments and his vision for the year ahead.

During his wide-ranging speech, which lasted 1 hour and 48 minutes, Trump made the case that America had improved under his watch.

The BBC’s Daniel Bush takes a closer look at Trump’s main themes of immigration and the economy – and who he was looking to appeal to with his address.

Dhara Vyas, the chief executive of Energy UK, which represents firms, said: “Today’s reduction in the energy price cap is a welcome first step by the Government toward providing meaningful support for households, helping make it more affordable for people to keep their homes safe, comfortable, and warm.

The Swansea City co-owner Snoop Dogg was greeted with twirling towels and a guard of honour on his first visit to the Welsh club.

The American rapper, who is a minority owner of the Championship club alongside the television host Martha Stewart and Croatia international Luka Modric, made his first appearance at the Swansea.com Stadium for Tuesday’s clash with Preston.

Snoop joined the Swansea ownership group last July and made his way to south-west Wales after attending the Winter Olympics, where he served as Team USA’s honorary coach as well as a special correspondent for broadcaster NBC.

The celebrity visit had created so much excitement that a sell-out crowd of 20,233 turned up. Snoop Dogg, who had arrived at the stadium nearly three hours before the 7.45pm kick-off, had requested the crowd to be in their seats ahead of the action to twirl the complimentary towels.

Snoop took to the field through a guard of honour for Snoop made up of 20 youngsters representing Wales at the 2026 Street Child World Cup in North America.

Dressed in the club’s all-white colours, with a Swansea crest on his jacket, dark glasses and a beanie hat, Snoop made a pre-match lap of honour as fans twirled their towels with rock music booming in the background.

The star saluted the fans, shook hands with some, and had photographs taken with others. The club mascot, Cyril the Swan, even got a hug. He eventually disappeared down the tunnel seven minutes later just before a light show started prior to kick-off.

Swansea boss Vitor Matos revealed Snoop Dogg was ‘really happy’ after watching his side salvage a 1-1 draw.

Liam Cullen cancelled out Daniel Jebbison’s first-half strike in the fifth minute of stoppage time with a fine header.

Cullen’s goal extended Swansea’s unbeaten home run to nine games and provided some satisfaction for the watching Snoop.

Matos said: ‘After the game he came to the dressing room and spoke with the players.

‘He’s someone that likes to be involved, not only with us but with the (United States) Olympic team as well.

‘He loves sports, loves sports people. He loves the club, loves the city, and wants to be here.

‘I think that’s all positive and he was really happy because he felt that the team had the right mentality. He felt that the team could push.’

Preston boss Paul Heckingbottom, meanwhile, downplayed the occasion and atmosphere created by Snoop Dogg’s walkabout before kick-off.

Heckingbottom joked that the only difference to other Championship games was the smell of illicit drugs, with Snoop Dogg having built a public persona around his copious marijuana intake.

‘The only thing I noticed different was the smell of weed in the tunnel before the game,’ Heckingbottom quipped.

‘It’s only different for people who are here every week, isn’t it?’ We don’t play at Swansea every week, so it’s no different for us.

‘We go away to Ipswich the other week, they were at it, their fans were at it, and that was noise all game. I felt we kept everyone quiet here until the end.’
