By Daniel Sanderson, 08/11/2009

ENGLAND football captain John Terry's dad is today sensationally caught on video selling deadly COCAINE.

In scenes that will shock the millionaire Chelsea ace, Ted Terry, 55, fixed a deal to supply an undercover News of the World team with the illegal Class A drug.

SCROLL BELOW TO SEE DRUG DEAL ON VIDEO

As he handed over three wraps of coke in the toilet of an Essex wine bar, Ted trousered £40 profit and told us: "The stuff's all right. I get off on it."

Ted heaped SHAME on the England captain by fixing a secret drug deal - then asked an undercover News of the World investigator not to mention his famous son.

After selling three grams of cocaine to our man, who pretended to be buying for his wealthy boss, Ted insisted:

"This is just between me and you. DON'T tell him that I'm John Terry's dad. I can't have this going back, I'm not saying that they'll say anything, but you never know.

"You CAN'T tell them I'm John Terry's dad. I've just got them a load of gear."

The entire deal was captured on video at the Unit 4 wine bar in Chafford Hundred, Essex, on Thursday.

And while Chelsea skipper John, 28 - who today faces his biggest Premier League match of the season against Manchester United - is worth £10 million and rakes in £160,000 a week, dad Ted, 55, was happy to arrange the sale of illegal cocaine for a profit of just £40, the price of a gram for himself.

The scandal comes just seven months after John's mum Sue embarrassed him with an £800 shoplifting raid on Marks & Spencer and Tesco.

We launched our investigation two months ago following a tip-off that Ted was laying on drug transactions. Our team watched him at the bar where he spends most afternoons drinking lager just a few yards from his home.

We saw first-hand how the father of the man leading the nation's bid to win next summer's World Cup boasts of a close relationship with his loyal and trusting son, who has no idea of his shady sideline.

Ted bragged how his boy had given him a £15,000 Rolex watch as an early Christmas present.

Holding court with his drinking pals, jobless Ted revealed he doesn't need to work because John had bought him a mortgage-free house and tickets for luxury family holidays to Dubai and Florida.

On Thursday Ted, who is separated from John's mum, was dressed in three-quarter length shorts, sweater, white socks and trainers - and sporting a Remembrance Day poppy - as he propped up the bar at his local.

Our reporter. who was posing as a chauffeur was also at the bar, with his 'multi-millionaire clients' sat across the room.

The investigator explained to Ted and his pals how he would be taking the boss and his guest to a lap dancing club later that night.

As our man asked advice where to take them, Ted's mate Leon chipped in and asked if they took drugs and wanted to buy cocaine.

Ted's eyes lit up at the prospect of a money-making deal and he seemed keen to muscle in and get Leon out of the way.

"I ain't being funny," he interrupted. "But with the sort of money he's got he ain't gonna buy s*** like we get round here.

"I mean, he's a f***ing multi- millionaire. You don't pay 40 quid a gram for s*** when you're a f***ing multi-millionaire!"

Ted then turned to another pal and said: "These geezers want a bit of Charlie, a good bit though." Seizing the opportunity, Ted asked our man: "How much does he want?"

Then he hustled to make a profit on the deal asking: "Is he treating the boys? Tell him we'll get him it if he treats the boys to an ounce each."

After being asked if the cocaine Leon could supply was good, Ted pulled our man to one side and scoffed: "Don't talk b****cks! You can't go around giving them f***ing s***.

"No, you can't f***ing do that. You'll get the sack!" Feigning familiarity with the drugs scene, our man claimed that he usually bought from a dealer in west London, to which Ted replied: "Yeah but it's normally s*** though, innit?

"I could get you a bit. How much would you want?"

The reporter told him it would be three grams of cocaine and asked the price. Ted said: "Three grams? £120. It's £40 each."

He promised that his supplier would visit the bar to drop off the drugs within 15 minutes - provided the punters had ready cash.

"Have they got the money?" he demanded. "Because they're not gonna pay on f***ing Barclaycard or nothing like that are they?

England captain John Terry's father is caught selling deadly cocaine

"Go and get the money. When YOU'VE got the dosh I'LL phone him. But I ain't gonna say come over here if you ain't got the dosh on you.

"Me mate don't want to be hanging about. It ain't the sort of business where you drive round with loads in your car, or else you'll get a tug (caught by the police).

"D'you know what I'm saying? All he wants to do is come over here, go bosh, bosh, cash, see you later, bye and that's it."

At that point we asked Ted if the stuff he could lay on was any good.

"Yeah, it's all right," he boasted. "I get off on it. It's not that bad.

"I mean, you could get f***ing better. I mean they're multi-millionaires, I'd think they could get better anyway.

"My mate, he's the b****cks - he never runs out.

"He's always got it. He's not like a lot of these people you phone and they go, 'Oh I ain't got none until next week, I've got to wait for me money to come.' He's only a young kid and he works his b****cks off and he's got loads of money."

Ted then disappeared outside to phone the dealer. He came back a few moments later and said: "Sorted. You've got to sort out the money though."

Our man handed him two £50 notes and two £10 notes.

As he counted it, Ted calmly said: "He ain't paying for mine then? He should have treated me shouldn't he, for getting it for him?"

So our man went back to ask the boss for an extra £40 - the price of a gram for Ted - for setting up the deal.

Ted's grin returned when he was handed another four tenners. He said: "Honestly mate, it's good stuff."

And, pointing to pal Leon across the bar, he added: "Better than HIS anyway!"

After receiving a phone call Ted left the bar to meet his cocaine supplier who was waiting outside in a car. He returned with a swagger a few minutes later and beckoned our man into the toilets.

Ted then handed over three packs of white powder wrapped in paper ripped from a comic, and whispered: "It's good stuff, try a bit."

Ted disappeared into a cubicle for five minutes. Afterwards he approached our man asking him for his verdict on the cocaine, asking: "Was that all right, yeah?"

To convince Ted he had taken some, our man told him it had numbed his gums, a common side-effect of the drug.

Ted replied: "Numbs the gums? Well it will do, proper stuff weren't it? I said it's all right didn't I?"

With an eye on setting up more deals between the pusher and his wealthy new contacts, Ted said: "If they're happy with it, talk to me and I'll talk to him and I'll most probably be able to get you discount.

"I can most probably get it f***ing cheaper but he don't know you, so he's charging you the right price, know what I mean?

"But if they want whatever, then I'll sort you out."

Ted then repeated his boast that the cocaine was good quality and not cut with cheap additives to make the drug go further.

Talking of his supplier again, he said: "He don't, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop. . . he earns what he earns and he's happy with it."

It was at that point Ted urged our man not to identify him as John Terry's dad.

But it didn't take long for him to change his mind. Soon he was revelling in telling our party all about his superstar son.

Downing pint after pint, Ted held court with his views on football.

He even invited our men to watch his boy play at Stamford Bridge and urged the fake multi-millionaires to BUY his own favourite team, West Ham.

As we left the bar Ted told us: "My lifetime dream is to see my son put a West Ham shirt on.

"I'd die a happy man to see him walk out that tunnel.

"I'm the proudest man around here, honest mate. My son. . . I've been very fortunate with what he's achieved."

After today's revelations John might not be so proud of his dad.

A Home Office-approved lab confirmed the drugs were genuine, and illegal.

Our shocking dossier of video evidence is now available to the police - and to YOU at our notw.co.uk website.

Great player John Terry, but what a low life family he has. This sort of behaviour from seemingly respectable middle class people who are certainly not poor, is a sad reflection on the reality of English society today.
Stevie G for England captain!!

By Higor Borges. Posted November 9 2009 at 1:12 AM.

JT I'm sorry to hear this. I don't support your team and in fact I hate em. But I'll tell you this: There is a world outside football. JT must be feeling pretty low right now but what a way to respond. Its pretty bad how his parents are taking the spotlight away from him. Come on ted!!! all this for fourty quid??????? shame on you

By DALZ. Posted November 8 2009 at 5:05 PM.

JT is a professional, a top player at the top of his game and this has NOTHING to do with him. It wont affect his game, he, his team mates and coaching staff wont let it.

By Rob Daniel. Posted November 8 2009 at 2:50 PM.

PARENTS...who'd have them ???

Rio Ferdinand for England Captain!!!

By brian. Posted November 8 2009 at 12:27 PM.

I'm a gooner, but also appreciate football from any team that performs. I don't know JT personally & can only comment on his life from watching him & things I've read or heard.
Your dad has been foolish & seems to be living off your reputation, he's obviously very proud of you, but why o'why did he choose "DRUGS" to make himself look BiG in front of unknown people. He could easily of followed the line of commiting to charity work & getting recognised for good things like his son "John Terry". But that involves "WORK" & "COMMITMENT" something he could learn from his son...

To John Terry, please don't let it spoil your game, 90% + people will be backing you; on & off the pitch..... GOOD LUCK

By Gaz-Man. Posted November 8 2009 at 12:16 PM.

First thing is I'm a Man Utd fan and I can't see how this should tarnish John Terry's reputation. It's obvious his Dad wants to gain street cred in the drug industry by bragging about his son when doing drug deals. John's Dad has no respect for his son, he should be put in Jail same as every other drug dealer. Terry is a leader on and off the pitch, some people may call him a thug but I say you don't win anything with a wimp as captain.

By Lee . Posted November 8 2009 at 11:21 AM.

@ Logan

Keep believing that PATHETIC lie!!

By -MA-. Posted November 8 2009 at 11:05 AM.

who cares what his Dad does???.... Its what happen on the Pitch that really matters. And John Terry is a Descent guy. No one can Point fingers at him for what his parents Stupidity!.

By Ronny. Posted November 8 2009 at 10:53 AM.

@ gillian. manfool? idiot. hate when people just don't say the normal team name. and if your gonna be stupid about it, fellow morons like yourself like to say liverfool. not manfool.

By tyson. Posted November 8 2009 at 10:39 AM.

I don't think the Man utd fans will show much compassion this afternoon!!

By Gary Hare. Posted November 8 2009 at 10:33 AM.

Dose,nt matter he,s John Terry,s dad he,s a drug dealer & deserves the same treatmeant as any other...LOCK HIM UP NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!

By MICK. Posted November 8 2009 at 10:30 AM.

John Terry wore the West Ham shirt when he was at their academy.

By Paul from Essex. Posted November 8 2009 at 9:33 AM.

All this just to get a free wrap.IDIOT. Forget buying West Ham United more like CHAV UNITED.

By rich. Posted November 8 2009 at 9:31 AM.

I am a Gunner so I am not biased to JT but I do respect him as a quality player and an excellent England captain. How can he be blamed if he has bad parents. It doesn't mean that he is the same. I am sure that he has suffered all his life with those parents.
Leave him alone, let him do his job and help bring home the World Cup.
His father is obviously a very stupid man. No point banging him, he will only sell his story and make more money from the press.

By Brady. Posted November 8 2009 at 9:09 AM.

I do not feel for either of them his Father is obviously earning to much.What a waister .When ever we have someone who is a talent its the same old isnt it?
Its usually the family members who have nothing for themselves to lose so they try to ruin someone elses success,like their own sons.
Drop him John ,this story sounds as though hes a Father but not a Dad.

By mark jones. Posted November 8 2009 at 9:02 AM.

After conquering a drug addiction after 20yrs this story really made me think that John Terry as done even better than I thought after seeing this was the man who brought him up! What a heartbreaking shame that his dad has let him down like this, when he should be there to support him,he's managed to stay away from the seedier side of football only for his dad to drag him kicking and screaming into it, for what 40 quid. John drop ur dad and carry on the way u are ur doing fine mate. Oh and I'm not a football supporter

By hubs11. Posted November 8 2009 at 8:53 AM.

why hasn't he been arrested then? what a total loser. scumbag

By glynis. Posted November 8 2009 at 8:28 AM.

If it were legal these shaddy deals wouldnt happen.

By phil. Posted November 8 2009 at 8:04 AM.

OMG...Hes Son is a MILIONEER...and what..he sells drugs OMG

By goga7a. Posted November 8 2009 at 8:00 AM.

bad timing to say the least....on such a big day such a dreadful news....i hope JT gets over it before the match....why do bad things happen with good people??...after the reputation he has gained over the years, its his parents who are spoiling it....

By JT. Posted November 8 2009 at 7:09 AM.

He's betrayed his son......What kind of reception is John Terry going get, around the countries grounds now.........It's going to be hard for him.......The man should be charged and sent to jail for a long time....But he wont......Our weak justice system will see to that.....

By Rocthedog. Posted November 8 2009 at 7:06 AM.

STEVEN GERRARD FOR ENGLAND CAPTAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By elnino. Posted November 8 2009 at 7:05 AM.

What people close to you do is not the fault of you and shouldn't have any backlash for you.

That is if you are innocent of bad things yourself!

For this muppet - if I were Terry, I'd stop giving him money and holidays etc.

By Gillian. Posted November 8 2009 at 6:15 AM.

@ Susie...how is JT a thug on the pitch?? Im guess ur a manfool fan huh???

By JD. Posted November 8 2009 at 6:00 AM.

If only we could choose our parents. I don't know much about football, but I have heard of him. His dreadful parents must be an awful cross to bear. He has my sympathy.

By Carol. Posted November 8 2009 at 5:59 AM.

@Warrior - that's alright then. My bad.

By Terry. Posted November 8 2009 at 2:14 AM.

How sad and pathetic.

Your son buys you a Rolex and a mortgage free house but you still insist on embarrassing him by mentioning that you are John Terrys Dad whilst selling a class A drug.

By Logan. Posted November 8 2009 at 2:04 AM.

(Terry) read the story properley its heroin thats funding the war againts our troops not cocaine

By warrior. Posted November 8 2009 at 1:59 AM.

He wears a Poppy, very noble of someone who seeks to profit from the trade that is helping to fund the insidious & bloody war against our troops.

The monetary gain is immaterial when set beside the betrayal that is unforgivable.

May God have mercy upon his soul.

By Terry. Posted November 8 2009 at 1:30 AM.

Doesn't John Terry's Dad look weird, kind of a cross between John Terry and Capello, with a face like that there's no wonder he deals drugs

By Ron. Posted November 8 2009 at 1:21 AM.

Dear oh dear !!! I feel for JT , this is embarassing to say the least and i hope he gives a shocker today and we thump them at the Bridge ..

By John. Posted November 8 2009 at 1:10 AM.

shameful, scrounging for 40 bag of coke when his sons a millionaire!!! i'd be very ashamed and angry if i was john terry, "don't say i,m john terrys dad" he repeated just to make sure the fella knew exactly who he was, he needn't of mentioned that but loves living off his sons name by the sounds of it.
