'I couldn't care less' - John Terry dismisses criticism over Chelsea farewell

John Terry has insisted he "could not care less" about the criticism surrounding his Chelsea farewell.

The Blues skipper said an emotional goodbye to Stamford Bridge by arranging his own substitution after 26 minutes of last Sunday's clash with Sunderland.

Terry's contrived departure, leaving the field to a guard of honour from his team-mates, was criticised by some pundits with Garth Crooks saying: "This isn't Hollywood, this is a Premier League fixture."

Further concerns were raised after a bookmaker paid out thousands of pounds to three punters who bet on the specific time of the substitution, which corresponded to Terry's shirt number.
