I've got 68 caps and I'd love to think I could get 100. I know there are some players who reach their 30s and announce their international retirement. I totally understand and respect their decisions. We are away a lot and for long spells. But although it's hard, we're doing one of the most privileged jobs in the world.” ThinkingKnowsWorldWayWantGivingLongI CanCountryHardJobsDecisionCareersPlayerGoes OnInternationalPrivilegeRetirementSpellsVolunteerPrivilegedCaps Author:John Terry
