JOHN TERRY has hit back at Labour MP Chris Bryant after the Chelsea legend came under fire for his tribute to Roman Abramovich.
Former Blues skipper Terry publicly praised Abramovich after news he was selling the club was made public, despite questionable links between the Russian billionaire and Vladimir Putin.
The 41-year-old posted on social media: "Thank you Roman. The Best Owner in the WORLD."
He also wrote on Twitter: "The best," along with a picture of the pair together holding the Premier League trophy.
Bryant immediately responded by criticising Terry – both on social media and in Parliament, for his 'appalling' posts.
One fan though has stuck up for Terry and questioned the reason for Bryant's condemnation.
Terry himself personally responded, and in doing so continued the war of words between the pair.
He sensationally aimed a personal dig at the MP for his part in the 2009 expenses scandal, and for voting in favour of the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
