I have followed England right across Europe for decades, and I have seen some bizarre antics from England fans ... and it could get worse on Wednesday.
I do not doubt these fans love their country ... or why would they be there ... but I have seen Toon fans and Mackems clash in Sweden, Germany and Holland; West Ham and Chelsea fans knock seven bells out of each other in Croatia; and Millwall tackle anyone!
On Wednesday we could see a strange 'for-an-against' atmosphere with John Terry, but Wayne Rooney has pleaded with the Wembley boo-boys to lay off John the Chelsea defender.
Wayne Rooney: "I hope the fans don't turn against John Terry.
"I have played in England teams when some of our own players have been booed. It has not been nice, not just for that one player, but for the whole team.
"Leading up to a World Cup you want the fans behind you.
"We need their full support. It is really important.
"I hope he gets a good reception on Wednesday.
"John Terry is a leader for our team.
"Although he hasn't got the armband he is still a great player and a great leader. It has been no different since we have met up."
