The John Terry Appreciation Thread

Stretford Ender said:
It was fairly well known that JT was a United supporter when he was young. Later on, there was speculation that we were trying to sign him to replace Jaap Stam. I think JT has said since that it was his dad who was the United fan but I wonder if that isn't him being politic. Would have made a great pairing with Rio in the middle of our defence.

i think Vidic was also a colossal..

That 'beacon' of football news has an interesting one for me today.

Saying at school boy level Terry supported Utd like his Dad and his heroes were Ince and Cantona. When he was playing for Senrab he got invited to Utd and when he said Ince was his favourite player was sat next to Ince at the lunch table.

Later on decided he wanted to play for Chelsea, his Dad tried to stop it yet his Mum signed the papers with him causing a family row:

@Bogga or @Stretford Ender is there any substance to this?

Yeah, I've heard he was a fan of us, didn't know about the fuss though 🤣

 
One of the cool clips, soon enough for the vintage topics lol...Look how TJ and Hazard are so good here, the captain saying yea yea but listen we'll see next year and boom next year we won the title!




 
He'd be great for the coming seasons morale, but Tuchel would have serious whiplash, having t keep looking over his shoulder, especially when hit the sticky patch, so for me a no no..

 
No, don't really want to go down the club legend route again (if Terry returns it would likely be a grooming to an eventual manager shot which won't be good for either party).

It's too painful when things go south not only cause a legend suffers but also all legions of excuses start getting rolled out as seen with Jose mark 2 and Lamps.

 
I don’t think JT would come back to Chelsea unless he knew he’d have success as a manager. 
 

Unsurprising to see rival fans spewing the same old unsubstantiated bile too. At least he’s got two clubs fans behind him nowadays. 

 
Agreed Munk, pretty sure JT has said as much as well, and no doubt he had chances to come back in roles other than a manager but is carving his own path.

I would expect he starts his own managerial career soon otherwise I cannot see why he left Villa as he had a good relationship with Smith and the team there.

 
Quite interested to see how JT does. I think he’s been wise in taking his time and learning from others. I wonder whether Frank would have benefited from that approach. He seemed to launch straight into it. 
 

Im interested to see how well he can lead a group. Obviously a great captain but the best captains and players don’t always make the best managers. 
 

Gerrard has surprised me a little. Celtic are awful but at least he has won the league there.

Apparently they're going to interview Jody Morris with a view to appointing him as their head coach.

Be interesting to see if he can be a manager after he's been praised as a number 2. Big step up and a totally different role. Would love to see him do well though.

 
Funnily enough, had this weird nightmare in which we were playing Arsenal (I think, can't really say for certain), losing 2-1 and in the last breath of the match JT flicked a ball to Eden who didn't hit with power and their GK saved it. 

Then woke up to this news. Hopefully he'll get a job with good chances of either staying in PL or promotion from the Championship.

I'm surprised he became Frank's number two in the first place. I'm guessing his ultimate ambition is/was to be manager here so going to be Frank's number 2 was effectively going back in the que voluntarily.
