Soccer Extreme : JOHN Terry will be squirming today at just what his mum and mother-in-law were accused of taking in their alleged £800 shoplift spree. The Sun can reveal the pair — officially cautioned by cops — were stopped outside Tesco loading a cringe-making haul of cheap gear into a car.
A source said last night: “His mum’s trolley was full of stuff he wouldn’t be seen dead in — including a hideous green tracksuit.“John Terry might well have been mortified when he found out what they are said to have done, but he’d be even more embarrassed if he saw what they took.”
There were also cheap girls’ FLIP FLOPS, clingy LEGGINGS, CASUAL SHIRTS, men’s and ladies’ WATCHES — and groceries including SWEETS and DOG FOOD.
Horrified England skipper Terry yesterday vowed not to let the scandal get to him when he leads the Three Lions out against Slovakia at Wembley today.
But it is a gigantic embarrassment for the FA — given Tesco is the official England supermarket.
One of the vice-presidents for England’s 2018 World Cup bid is Tesco chief executive Sir Terry Leahy.
Marks & Spencer — which Sue Terry, 50, and Sue Poole, 54, were ALSO accused of nicking from — supplies suits to the England squad.
Chelsea star Terry, 28. said: “It’s a very personal matter.” He went on: “The lads have seen the headline and that’s it.“It doesn’t affect me on the pitch or off the pitch.”
The purses of his mum and mother-in-law were said to have been stuffed with credit cards and hundreds of pounds in cash as they wheeled out their trolleys at Surrey’s Brooklands Shopping Centre.
The pair were stopped and taken to a security office — where they allegedly LAUGHED as police turned up to arrest them.
Officers were said to have searched Poole’s VW Beetle car and found bags of M&S clothes which had also not been paid for.
A store worker said: “It beggars belief.”

The two Sues have detached pads close by near swanky Oxshott — which £135,000-a-week defender Terry bought for them.
The houses are in the same street where he lives with wife Toni, 26, and two-year-old twins Georgie and Summer.
His lawyer again insisted yesterday that the women were simply innocent victims of an “unfortunate misunderstanding”.Angus McBride said they did not realise they formally admitted guilt by agreeing to be cautioned.
But Surrey Police said the pair were made “fully aware”.
Among shoplifters across Britain JAILED yesterday was David Furber, 27, of Bristol — who nicked £250 of electrical goods from Boots.
Mum Amanda Jones, 37, of Pontefract, West Yorks, said after she was tagged and put on curfew when she admitted shoplifting at Asda: “The more money you have the less likely you are to get done.” (thesun)
