JOHN TERRY wants to make a sensational England comeback.

The Chelsea skipper quit the Three Lions last September just before the FA hearing which banned him for racially abusing QPR’s Anton Ferdinand.

Terry was furious the governing body pursued the case against him even though he had been cleared by a criminal court. JT, 32, claimed they had made his position “untenable”.

Last week he snubbed FA chairman David Bernstein’s handshake at the Champions League trophy handover in London.

But, as Bernstein steps down, 78-cap Terry now wants to return to the international set-up and have one last hurrah at next summer’s World Cup.

England are struggling to qualify automatically for Brazil 2014 and face crunch games in September and October which will decide their fate.

Terry saw how England were scrabbling around for centre-backs in the World Cup qualifiers against San Marino and Montenegro last month and feels he can play a part again.

It is even possible he will be available for the end-of-season friendlies at home to Ireland and in Brazil.

Terry is still in contact with Roy Hodgson. But the decision to make himself available again will create a huge dilemma for the England boss.

Although Rio Ferdinand could have returned but pulled out, the door is still open for the Manchester United defender.

And now he and Terry could share a dressing room again.

The pair have not spoken since the racial abuse case with Rio’s brother Anton started.

But Terry could still be banned from England by the FA.

They were ready to suspend him for at least two internationals but he pre-empted that by retiring on the eve of his hearing.
