The former Chelsea captain is in the midst of holding a tour, which began in Basingstoke on Friday night. The costs involved have raised eyebrows with fans paying £25 per ticket only to then be charged three figures to get an autograph whilst they can also pay a mammoth £500 to dine with Terry. Such numbers have been criticised but the 42-year-old has aired his frustration with the lack of clarity regarding where such funds are going. Terry has reiterated that all the money raised will go directly to his foundation. He said on Instagram on Tuesday: "Hi guys, just wanted to touch on the stories the press are writing about me charging fans £100 for signatures and photos and drinks or whatever that may be. The big thing – and this is very important – the big thing that they forgot to mention is that all proceeds from these events that I've been doing – and the only reason that I signed up – is to raise money for my foundation, for the John Terry 26 Foundation. "I set my foundation up about seven or eight months ago because I wanted to do something personal and on my own where I'm going to be eventually hosting a gala dinner, golf events throughout the year, any opportunities to raise money for my foundation. "I've been working very closely with various different charities over the last 22 years being Chelsea captain and seeing a lot of terminal and ill and sick children along the way, which is something that's always been something very close to my heart and always will be. "So rather than doing it for one specific charity, I've been focusing on my own foundation in the last six or seven months. And this tour that I'm doing, this Q&A that I'm doing, is part of){kind=link}
