It’s official, Chelsea captain is better than ever

Much is being made of John Terry’s age, and questions are arising of how long he can continue for as a professional footballer.

Many younger than JT have retired, but Terry’s class is very much permanent and Chelsea’s most consistent performer over the past decade is actually better than he was during his peak years.

Sky Sports compiled the statistics of Terry’s performances from when he was 24 compared to his performances in his 34th year of life. The results are outstanding.

Can JT lead the Chelsea defence into his forties?
