These are John Terry’s 3 greatest ever Chelsea moments – agreed?
On John Terry’s 36th birthday – it is time to celebrate everything that the Chelsea captain has achieved during his time with the club…
John Terry joined Chelsea at the age of 14 – and the rest is history. He rose through the ranks quickly, and apart from a short stint with Nottingham Forest, has gone on to become one of the last ‘one club men’ in the Premier League – a feat that he undoubtedly is very proud of.
Having spent over 20 years at the club, there have been more than a few memorable moments of John Terry in a Chelsea shirt – with the legendary English defender achieving more than few historic feats during his tenure.
From huge trophy wins to historic moments in time, John Terry has done it all – and it is about time that he receives a bit of recognition for that.
With that said, these are John Terry’s 3 greatest ever Chelsea moments – agreed?
Captaincy
A moment aligning almost perfectly with his birthday.
On December 5th 2001, John Terry captained Chelsea for the first time – and that day will go down in history forever.
He has since cemented his legacy as one of the greatest captains in Premier League history – spearheading the Blues through the most successful period in their history, with his own performances a particular highlight.
He has been so much more than just a captain, though, with his off-the-field role also proving hugely important for the Blues.
On a personal note, Terry will undoubtedly proud of his captaincy – and he deserves every bit of his success.
Premier League
How do you get better than becoming Chelsea captain? Well, winning the club their first ever Premier League trophy is a pretty decent start.
In Terry’s debut season as full-time captain, the legendary skipper led the Blues to their first ever Premier League win – with the Jose Mourinho-managed side looking dominant from the first whistle.
It was in this year that he cemented himself as one of the best central defenders in the world – and he continued to go from strength to strength thereafter.
What a moment. Career defining.
Champions League
John Terry has been given a lot of flack for not being involved in the Champions League final through suspension – but you cannot deny that the Englishman did more than enough to warrant his medal.
He led Chelsea historically through the knockout stages, and despite getting sent off in the semi-final – Chelsea fans hold no grudge for that.
The Champions League proved elusive for Terry, but in 2012 he finally got his hands on it – and he deserved every bit of it.
