John Terry’s daughter urges him not to post embarrassing reaction video which has made him a laughing stock for Arsenal fans after he hoped for a Chelsea goal… only to see Kai Havertz score!
John Terry’s daughter has pleaded with him not to release a video in which he is mocked for watching Chelsea’s defeat against Arsenal in his full club tracksuit.
The Blues legend took to TikTok on Tuesday night to share his pained reaction to Chelsea’s elimination in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
Terry, 45, could not believe that Kai Havertz’s goal in the 97th minute was ruled offside and expressed his sadness as Chelsea lost 4-2 on aggregate to their London rivals. Just a few minutes ago he thought they might equalize.
In the video, Terry is scolded by his 19-year-old daughter, Summer; Terry says “don’t put this anywhere please” as she turns the camera towards him on the couch and Terry tries to cover his face.
‘Don’t put that anywhere, dad,’ the England legend says with a small laugh before retorting: ‘Apologise.’ Summer does so, but continues: ‘You’re not putting this anywhere.’ Terry insists: ‘I am.’ Summer insists: ‘It’s not you.’
Defending Terry, Summer has not always sought privacy and has created a public Instagram profile with nearly 54,000 followers. He previously played for Chelsea’s youth academy and enjoys coaching children’s football.

Nineteen-year-old Summer begged him not to send the video to his TikTok followers
Summer is an Instagram influencer with nearly 54,000 followers, played for Chelsea’s academy and enjoys coaching children’s football.
He has a twin sister named Georgie and they were born in 2006 to Terry and his wife Toni. When they turned 17, they were given a matching gift by their parents, a Mercedes.
Terry told his 454,000 TikTok followers after Havertz’s goal: ‘Offside, still offside. Offside. It’s definitely offside. We have come to the end of our cup adventure. It’s definitely offside.
‘Not a bad performance from our side but to be honest it didn’t look like they were going to score all night and Arsenal did what they needed to do tonight.’
Havertz’s goal stood and thus Liam Rosenior suffered the second defeat of his reign, both at the hands of Arsenal after six wins.
Six years after Mikel Arteta’s first FA Cup trophy, Arsenal will have the chance to lift the second trophy of their reign next month and will face either Manchester City or Newcastle in the final.
Arsenal fans commiserated with Terry, with one sharing the video and writing: ‘I thought Kai Havertz scoring would be the best thing I’ve seen tonight but here’s John Terry recording himself thinking Chelsea would score only for Kai to win. In full Chelsea tracksuit ahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.’
‘Why would he post this? “Like there’s an option to hit post,” said another.
One of them said, ‘His daughter repeatedly asks him not to post.’
“My brother went through all five stages of grief,” another joked.
‘Can someone tell him he’s still not offside?’ someone joked.

The family enjoyed a ski holiday in Val d’Isere in the French Alps a few weeks ago.
Terry’s instinct in the heat of the moment was understandable; Declan Rice had led to the assumption that Havertz had acres of space with a beautiful pass in behind Trevoh Chalobah, but in reality the German was comfortably offside.
The former Chelsea captain at least had an explanation for the tracksuit.
He wrote: ‘I’m not sitting at home in my Chelsea tracksuit, I came back early from our Youth League match against PSV, which we won on penalties.’
Chelsea’s U19 team secured progress to the last 16 of the UEFA Youth League by beating PSV 7-6 in a thrilling penalty shoot-out following a 1-1 draw.
Terry works part-time as a mentor at Chelsea’s academy at Cobham. Last year he gave up hopes of becoming a senior boss in the Premier League or EFL, saying: ‘I’m done with coaching. I’m enjoying my life, working at the Chelsea academy.
‘My position is a part-time position, I love working with children, I love transferring my knowledge and experience to those children.
‘I’m not really coaching at the moment, I’m a mentor, an ambassador.
‘I went to a few jobs and those days are over for me. I enjoy my life a little, I take time for myself, I play some golf, I study at the academy and I also spend some time with my family.
‘It’s a really good balance for me.’
