Chelsea and England captain John Terry has spoken of his admiration for Britain's service men and women.

"They love their football, they like to look up to us but I would like to be in their shoes and do what they do," Terry said. "It's great they want to do that and they are brilliant at their job. I would love to [serve], of course. Put your life on the line for the country - I would love to, but I don't think many of us could."

Terry spoke after spending part of yesterday with members of the Royal Air Force, Army and Navy, who had watched England training in preparation for the matches against Slovakia and Ukraine and then been invited to meet members of the squad.
