The John Terry Appreciation Thread

‘I saw Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink fly!’ Gianfranco Zola hauls back his head in laughter as he recalls John Terry’s early days training with the Chelsea first team.

‘We were training in a two-versus-two game. It was me and Jimmy Floyd against Terry and another young boy. Jimmy was getting very frustrated because he couldn’t score and he kicked this boy. John didn’t like this.

‘When training continued, Terry switched opponents and went to mark Jimmy Floyd. The first tackle, I’ll never forget it – Jimmy flew through the air! It was an unbelievable tackle, so strong and ruthless.

‘Nothing was said, but the next attack, exactly the same thing happened. I’ve never seen anything fly so high!

‘That summarised Terry’s character. Jimmy was a big man, a senior player. Not any young lad could have done that.’

John Terry - Captain, Leader, Legend on Sky Sports 1 at 1.30pm

A look at the career of Chelsea captain John Terry. A product of the club's academy, the former England captain has won four English Premier League titles with the blues.

I will be watching this

 
Terry was voted the player of the season by the pundits in the local (Finnish) broadcasters' Premier League studio. Well deserved.

 
Just saw this while skimming through the BBC live summary of the Sunderland match:

If John Terry completes the 90 minutes - and he's getting close - he will become only the second outfield player to play every minute in a Premier League title-winning season, following Manchester United's Gary Pallister in 1992-93.

Pallister was 27 back then. Terry is 34.

 
Today I had the pleasure to finally meet Connor Ansell.
Connor is fighting Leukaemia and Chelsea received an email before our trip to Australia asking if the club could do anything to cheer him up as Connor is a big Chelsea fan. We were halfway to him yesterday before training but traffic jams on our way forced us to turn around to make training on time, so after lunch today we made our way back to the hospital to see Connor along with the Premier League Trophy and put a BIG smile on his face.
You are an inspiration my friend and keep fighting.

A few of my mates went down for the Sydney game a day earlier than I did and bumped in to a few players and coaching staff, no surprise that JT was the most willing to wait and pose for pictures and sign autographs for anyone that was asked while a few others including Jose didn't really stick around.

 
I see the end if the arcticle still tries to stain JT, also missing out the very important word....... "ex".

 
Whoever is complaining about a computer generated personalised picture is a Muppet... Mind you if you were willing to pay ten quid for a bit of old crap like that in the first place you're probably a bit of a mug anyway.

 
I'm confused about where the "can barely write" bit fits in...  Typically sh*t ending to the article as well.

I think that's a bit harsh. Each to their own, I don't see a problem with someone wanting to have a photo of their hero in their room.

I'm sure some would feel the same about the money you spent on special editions of Arkham Knight and Fallout 4 :wink:

Difference being I could probably buy a JT, postcard sized picture from eBay for 99p. I'm not paying 10x the amount for something that is pretty worthless.
