England stars back captain Terry

England players Peter Crouch and James Milner have thrown their backing behind manager Fabio Capello's decision to reinstate John Terry as captain.
Terry has controversially returned in place of Rio Ferdinand after being dropped from the role amid allegations over his private life 13 months ago.
"It's the manager's call and there are no problems from anyone," said Crouch. "I'm pleased for John and we move on."
Milner added: "JT has shown week in, week out what a good leader he is."
Tuesday's news conference was the first opportunity for any England player to speak with the media after Terry faced the press for the first time since his reinstatement on Monday.
Terry admitted he was "not everybody's cup of tea" amid speculation there was unrest in the camp about Capello's decision, ahead of Saturday's Euro 2012 qualifier against Wales in Cardiff.
