Chelsea assistant manager Ray Wilkins is hoping the abuse of captain John Terry will now stop and feels the booing has 'served its course'.
Terry has become a target for opposing supporters in recent weeks following allegations of an affair with the ex-girlfriend of his former team-mate Wayne Bridge.
He was stripped of the England captaincy and was jeered by a small section of fans for the national team's 3-1 win over Egypt last week.
The defender was booed again on Sunday by Stoke City supporters as Chelsea won 2-0 to reach the FA Cup semi-finals, but Wilkins has called for an end to the abuse.
"I would like to think the abuse would stop," said Wilkins. "It's served its course. But it's happening and John's just getting on with the situation.
"I'm not too happy about the abuse, but there's nothing I can do about it.
"He's dealing with the situation in the only way he can - committing himself to the cause.
"He's an exceptional captain and we're delighted to have him on board. He leads these players on the pitch in fantastic fashion and scored the second goal which was a great goal.
"This was another superb performance from him."
