The Bentley in the disabled space
ENGLAND football captain John Terry came under fire today after he was spotted illegally parking in a disabled parking space.
The £100,000-a-week Chelsea defender got slapped with a £60 parking fine after pulling into the disabled spot on Esher High Street - metres away from a 50p per hour public car park.
An angry onlooker snapped the footballer’s black Bentley parked in front of Café Piccolo while Terry went to enjoy a long lunch with his family at Pizza Express.
An Esher worker, who asked not to be named, said: "He arrived at around 12.30-ish and was up at Pizza Express. I think it is just arrogance, there is a car park behind the Civic Centre.

"But you can park there [in the disabled space] for as long as you need to, it is used regularly.
"Anyone with any sense of morals would say it is convenient to park there but someone could clearly use it more than me.
"A guy who is the England captain, OK he is a great sportsman, but he has the added responsibility of showing an example in everything he does. Playing football comes with wider responsibility."
He added: "If you have a lot of money, you can buy your way out of doing the wrong thing."
Terry refused to comment on why he was parking in a disabled space despite being fit and healthy, but he took time to sign autographs for fans before reversing his car away.
