Yes, you read that right, this time it’s John Terry who’s refusing to shake hands with someone, we’ve seen it all now.

John Terry has some sort of problem with the cultural concept of offering a handshake to someone.
First there were the problems with Wayne Bridge, then there were the problems with Anton Ferdinand that saw the handshakes before the game cancelled as well as him losing the captaincy of England and today, he refused to shake the hand of FA chairman David Bernstein.
John Terry confirmed to Sky Sports after a Champions League trophy handover event today that he didn’t shake the hand of Bernstein when he was offered it.
Terry said “It’s a difficult one for me – he went and spoke about me in the court case” after the event. However Bernstein said that he “certainly didn’t notice anything”, adding “I’m not really terribly concerned”.
Michel Platini didn’t get the dreaded snub from JT, at least
The rest of the Chelsea squad was also present at the event to hand over the trophy (which we imagine had to be pried out of Terry’s grasp) but no word yet on whether Terry also snubbed them too.
