I was photographing the opening day of David Beckham's new Football Youth Academy in London which moved on to the MoS that evening for a gala presentation.
My job was to get all the celebs and supporters of the Academy going in, one of which was Terry. All were happy and obliging except Terry who wanted f**k all to do with it. He didn't even turn up til midnight, no doubt for the last few bottles of Moet in the VIP area.
Anyway I got abuse from his cronies as he went in so I resolved to get him exiting.
His driver, a little scumbag in a hoodie from Brixton probably, had other ideas and before our man came out, wrestled me to the ground and tried to smash my gear. the 'scrap' was broken up by the bouncer who told the driver to sling his hook back to the car.
JT came out 20 minutes later but with a blanket over him, clearly pissed out of his head.
And that's that really.
