The John Terry Appreciation Thread

Rumours in the last week that JT could be in line to take over the Chelsea under 23s team.

Following Steve Bruce's sacking he's also been linked with the Aston Villa job as his first management role.

Now that would be interesting though not sure he would take it.

The other factor around the job if I recall correctly was Bruce was not given funds to strengthen. 

 
Does he have all the necessary papers yet, I got the impression he's still doing his coursework?

Villa v Derby games will be very conflicting for us Chelsea fans ha ha....

 
He's just after confirming his retirement from playing.

Absolute legend. Thanks for the memories John.

 
Best defender in premier league history. 

Possibly our greatest ever player with Lamps. 

 
He won a lot and won it all with us. The best defender the Premier League ever had. Hopefully he goes on to have a great career as a coach too......as long as it's not at one of our rivals or if it effects us in a negative way  :biggrin:

Love you John! You could miss one hundred penalties in Champions League finals, and you'll still always be our hero! Good luck sir!

 
I don't care what any other club thinks; he's still Chelsea's greatest ever defender. 

Hope he returns as a coach.

 
I don't know what to say really, there is no sufficiently great superlative to describe what JT gave to this club. He gave us his body and soul, and was surely the greatest defender ever to grace the Premier League. It was a true privilege to have him in the blue shirt.

As far as evolution in football goes, this tendency towards universality in centre backs (and players across the pitch) looks to be more of a permanent shift than a simple trend. A friend of mine claimed a couple of weeks ago that Rudiger is one of the best centre backs in the league. I was about to vehemently disagree, but then wondered... who is the competition? What great defenders (as in good at defending) are left in the Premier League?

This leads me to wonder - are we perhaps not just saying farewell (although I imagine not adieu) to a Chelsea legend, perhaps the very best, but also to one of the last great defenders?

 
Rumors are that he will assist Thierry Henry managing Aston Villa.

Good. Learning the trade away from Chelsea, and we can figure out whether he is any good or not. If he is, well....we know what we want  :laugh2:

 
How lucky we were to have the privilege of having JT as our captain and leader. His achievements as Captain of CFC are unlikely to ever be bettered. 

Thanks for the memories JT. Come on the Chels!
