The John Terry Appreciation Thread

I only started watching football in 2003 and supportes Chelsea because they were the first team I saw play in blue. But from that game on, I was hooked and John Terry was one of the first players I ever remember loving. He's played a big part of who we've become as a team and you know be is massive when my mum knows who he is! 

Captain. Leader. Legend. 

 
The definition of a legend.  Thanks JT, you've left a legacy and I'm quite sure you haven't left that dressing room with any holes in the leadership.  Such an empowering leader.  Thanks

 
Wow. So this is it. I've been following Chelsea since I was a young kid, and JT has been the only every present, it's going to be really strange to see us as a club without him around. The true definition of a club legend, and even if he joins another premier league club, he'll still be one of those few 'one club men' in my eyes. We need to win this title for him, send him out on a high note and let him lift that premier league trophy one last time. People are saying it's a strange time to announce it, but I think it's a good time, it should galvanise the fans and dressing room for the run-in with Spurs on our heels. Captain, Leader, Legend. Thanks for everything JT

 
Has anyone read the article on the BBC by that prick Mcnulty? He references JT and the champions league final, putting his strip on and describes it as 'someone with his nose pressed up against the window looking in on the glory'

I mean, f**king come on, I can understand opposition fans being bitter but this is your f**king job mate. It's disgraceful people think that if you play a key role all the way through a competition and miss a final whether it be to suspension or injury that you're less deserving of winning it or getting a medal.

Sorry to put a negative in here but it makes my blood boil, next they'll be saying if you're on the bench in a cup final you've no right to celebrate, absolutely ludicrous.

 
Maybe he hasn't dodged a drug test like Rio Ferdinand, he didn't knock out a DJ like Gerrard, he never tried to deliberate break a players leg like Roy Keane and he wasn't caught shagging his brothers wife like Giggs.

But he did deliver the first Champions League win to London, captain more games than any other player, score more goals as a defender and won more premier league titles than any other captain.

Focusing on his 2 indiscretions when we are talking about a player with one of the greatest records in modern football is ridiculous. Glad we are all celebrating the GOAT.

 
He achieved more than Gerrard did by a country f-cking mile yet the media response to his leaving has had a night and day feel about it in terms of how they've covered it, Personally i never had an issue with the guy, Didn't like him but respected him something which Stevie Me and Shrek haven't been able to earn from me.

 
 I echo all the above sentiments 100%, but for years i used to bang on about what a brilliant footballer he was, not the warrior defender, but as the kids say his "Tekkers, i remember reading Lamps saying when he joined us, i need to become as good and develop a touch like JT, i personally just love the guy to bits for just being the JT every fan really deep down knows he is....

Love this picture, "i may not be deemed worthy to play, but you're in my heart Chelsea"

I know he's going but it just doesn't seem real. Seeing him in another teams kit will be gut wrenching and will then hit home. Top bloke (according to a few people I know that have met him, including an arsenal fan!) And a true legend at the bridge. He will be back in a few years I have no doubts about that.

 
Can barely imagine watching Chelsea without him being about, hope him all the best where ever he goes...hopefully not city 

 
Captain, Leader, Legend.

Say, No, More.

Where do I hope JT plays next? Wherever the hell he chooses to!! JT is Chelsea through and through so I fully trust he would never play for a rival.

Please afford THE MAN the respect he deserves to make whatever step he chooses to. He is a husband and a father. The wishes of his wife and kids should and will be high if not top of his priorities.

If he chooses to go for a new adventure be it abroad within Europe, China or America then all well and good.

If he chooses to continue to test himself in the Premier League then I will enjoy to watch the greatest defender the league has ever seen in the closing chapters of his career.

If he lines up against Chelsea in a West Brom or Brighton shirt, I will take pride in him giving his absolute all to win 3 points for the club he is representing and I would expect nothing less of THE MAN.

Would it make him any less Chels? Would it fcuk!!!

 
Thanks for the memories John you will be missed...really hope to see you back at the club sometime in the future...our leader our legend our captain... ::clap2::
