<\/p>\nFormer England and Chelsea skipper John Terry has shared a video from his skiing holiday, documenting the moment his boozy day on the slopes went wrong.<\/p>\n
The 45-year-old, who currently works with Chelsea’s academy, was enjoying a trip to Courchevel in the French Alps when he decided to film himself skiing whilst clutching a St George’s flag.<\/p>\n
Terry admitted on Instagram that the stunt came after consuming alcohol throughout the day, followed by three tequilas immediately before hitting the slope.<\/p>\n
Alongside the footage, he wrote: “Not the best idea to drink all day then smash three tequilas being skiing down. Watch till the end.”<\/p>\n
The footage captures Terry gliding down the mountain, at one point spinning around to ski backwards whilst waving the England flag triumphantly above his head.<\/p>\n
His celebration proved premature, however, as the clip concludes with the former defender tumbling to the ground at the bottom of the run.<\/p>\n
Terry could be seen laughing at his own misfortune as he lay sprawled on the snow, eventually picking himself up slowly.<\/p>\n
He included an apology to friends for owing them an England flag and a photo of himself posing with the banner, wearing sunglasses.<\/p>\n

Prior to posting the embarrassing fall, Terry had shared other content from the trip.<\/p>\n
Terry was joined on the Alpine getaway by former footballers Steve Sidwell and Bobby Zamora, along with his wife, Toni, and other partners in the group.<\/p>\n
The trip also included a notable encounter away from the pistes, with Terry meeting Brazilian football legend Ronaldo during his time in the resort.<\/p>\n
Despite the various highlights from the holiday, it was the flag-waving skiing disaster that proved to be the standout moment Terry chose to share with his followers.<\/p>\n

The former England captain, who hung up his boots in 2018, appeared to be making the most of some time away from his coaching duties at Cobham.<\/p>\n
Since retiring from professional football in 2018, Terry has taken on coaching positions at Aston Villa and Leicester before returning to Chelsea to work with the youth setup.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, the former captain expressed frustration at being overlooked when the club needed interim management following Enzo Maresca’s departure.<\/p>\n
Chelsea opted for Under-21s boss Calum McFarlane instead, who secured a draw at Manchester City before the team lost to Fulham and Liam Rosenior was appointed.<\/p>\n

Terry said: “Not annoyed, probably more frustrated. <\/p>\n
“Clearly the ownership, or whoever made those decisions the sporting directors have gone ‘no’ not to include me, for whatever reason. <\/p>\n
