“No, Anton, I said I caught a bleak and a carp.”
John Terry is in a row with his neighbours over his plans to build a fishing pond at his £10million Surrey mansion, according to Mirror Football.
The England skipper is seeking planning permission to develop a “featureless paddock” on the seven-acre plot, claiming it will help with drainage.
Neighbours in the village of Oxshott are opposing the fishing pond. One letter to planners read: “It’s a green belt site and should remain as such.”
JT has previously spoken of his love for fishing.
Two years ago, he said: “I really got into fishing when I was younger and would spend hours attempting to make the elusive big catch.
“Obviously it’s more difficult to find the time these days but when I get a quiet moment I tend to go off, rod in hand.
“I can sit there for hours, turn my mobile off and watch the world go by. I also have a great laugh and often go with Bobby Zamora from Fulham.
“My biggest catch is a 28lb carp, but over the years I’ve landed a few decent size fish.”
OTP would bet he hasn’t spent enough time rod in hand over the last couple of years for Wayne Bridge’s liking.
Planners at Elmbridge Borough Council will decide whether Terry can dig his pond in the new year.
