JOHN TERRY was mercilessly trolled on social media after showing off the “tiny” fish he caught while on his most recent trip.
The Aston Villa No2, 39, is a keen angler and proudly took to Instagram to show off his latest catch – a small rainbow trout.
Friends and fans poked fun of John Terry for his ‘tiny’ catch of the day
JT’s wife Toni leapt to her husband’s defence after he was trolled
But beaming JT was quickly brought back down to earth after hordes of fans poked fun of his effort.
Former Chelsea team-mate Dennis Wise went in hunt of a little nibble of his own.
The ex-midfielder replied to Terry’s picture, saying: “Is that it? Did you buy it from the local fish stall?”
But Wise was by no means the only person to chime in with a witty comeback.
Even A Star Barbers – who visit JT at his house for a home trim – had a pop, writing, “Small fish”, complete with a laughing emoji.
One fan dangled some bait too, joking: “Have you got big hands or is that a small fish?”
Another had their say on the “tiny” catch, writing: “Not sure you need two hands for that.”
But proud wife Toni gave her husband her full support, replying with a heart-eyes emoji.
Terry may have turned to fishing as an escape from the drama surrounding Villa Park lately.
Aston Villa lost 2-0 at Southampton at the weekend, with rumours quickly spreading JT was involved in a major bust-up with boss Dean Smith.
But ex-Brentford chief Smith was quick to play down talk of a rift, calling the reports “bulls***”.
