The father of the Chelsea and former England captain John Terry has pleaded guilty to dealing cocaine. Edward Terry, 56, supplied it to an undercover newspaper reporter in a winebar in Chafford Hundred, in 2009. Edward Terry is embarrassed because of the supset the incident caused to his son.
Edward Terry’s council, mr. Saunders said Terry had drunk a considerable amount that night.
Presiding magistrate John Toplis said the case was unusual and ruled that a Crown Court judge should pass sentence. Terry, did not comment when he left court and he only spoke to confirm his personal details and enter a guilty plea during the hearing.
He will be sentenced at Basildon Crown Court on 1 June and was released on bail.

The whole case is blown up because Edward Terry is the father of the famous John Terry. Everyday, drug dealers get arrested and convicted so the case itself is not a rare one. Only because it is the father of a famous football player, makes it such a big deal. I really feel sorry for John Terry, because of the negative attention he gets by this. He is a great man and a great football player and I think he should support his father and be patient because it will blow over again. I think the worst media hype is over now, and I hope they will be able to enjoy life as usual fast.
