Terry named England skipper
By Peter ORourke -  Created on 10 Aug 2006

Chelsea defender John Terry has been named as the new captain of England.

Terry succeeds David Beckham as skipper after the Real Madrid star stepped down from the role following England's elimination to Portugal at the World Cup.

McClaren has been weighing up his options on who could replace Beckham and Terry will be given the job of leading England for the Euro 2008 qualifying campaign.

Terry beat the likes of Liverpool's Steven Gerrard and Gary Neville of Manchester United to the prestigious role.

The 25-year-old has matured into one of the best defenders in world football and has skippered Chelsea to two successive Premiership titles.

Terry has also established himself as a cornerstone of the national team in the last few seasons and his leadership qualities have impressed McClaren.

McClaren has also decided to hand Gerrard the vice-captaincy.
