Wayne refuses John Terry handshake

The two players were thrown together for the first time since the scandal that resulted in the City defender making himself unavailable for England selection and abandoning his World Cup dream.

With Terry leading the team out of the Stamford Bridge tunnel and Bridge one of the last to come out to the pitch with City, all eyes were on the team hand-shakes prior to kick-off.

The Sky TV cameras were predictably on Terry as the City players filed past.

But when Bridge came to the Chelsea skipper, the City defender seemed to extend an arm and a quick glance at his former friend before looking away and declining the invitation. Bridge's hand had actually trailed underneath the former England captain's hand.

The heightened tension was almost farcical as the City players made their way down the line of Chelsea stars, headed by Terry.

In the end, the pair were the only two not to greet each other during the traditional handshake on the field.

There had been boos for Bridge and cheers for Terry from the Chelsea supporters when their names had been read out.

'Team Terry' emblazoned clothing was also available outside Stamford Bridge.
