Security guard wants to avoid publicity over accident with Chelsea captain Terry

The security guard struck by Chelsea captain John Terry's car has delayed meeting with the England defender.

Steve Rowley , who is deputy security manager at the club, was hit by the England defender's Range Rover after Chelsea's 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Initial reports suggested that Mr Rowley had broken his leg but last night he released a statement confirming the collision had left it badly bruised.

Phil Hall, spokesman for the former England captain, said that Terry had intended to meet Mr Rowley on Thursday but the security guard declined, saying that he did not want to cause a fuss.

Hall said: "John rang him this morning and after training this afternoon to ask Steve how he was.

"Steve said he was fine and that he was resting up. John discussed visiting him today but he just said: 'No, don't worry about it. It's not worth the hassle, there's nothing that you can't say that you haven't already done, it'll just turn into more of a media circus if you do come."'
