Four of Chelsea's most popular players have been criticised for riding quad bikes without wearing helmets.

Captain John Terry, 27, Ashley Cole, 27, Joe Cole, 26, and Steve Sidwell, 25, were pictured on two blue Yamahas in Esher last Thursday.

The footballers rode four miles from their training ground in Cobham along a busy road to Esher, without wearing any protective headgear.

Although it is not illegal to drive a quad bike without a helmet, the quartet's actions have been deemed as reckless by safety experts.
