As a highly rated central defender, John Terry made his long-awaited breakthrough at Chelsea during the 2000-01 season.
In October 2000, he won his first England Under-21 cap against Finland.
Tough in the tackle and commanding in the air, John has the confidence to constructively play his way out of trouble and is capable of hitting long passes to attacking players on either flank.
John's Chelsea contract was extended to June 2009 in November 2004 then to June 2012 in July 2007, to June 2014 in August 2009, to June 2015 in May 2014, to June 2016 in March 2015 and to June 2017 in May 2016.
He was voted PFA Player of the Year 2005.
Having captained Chelsea to five Premier League titles, the Stamford Bridge icon had an established record of being able to lead from the front and motivate those around him.
However, major controversies have resulted in him twice being stripped of England's captain's arm band.
Notably, John went in to the Euro 2012 tournament awaiting trial after pleading not guilty to racially abusing Queens Park Rangers' Anton Ferdinand during a Premier League match in October 2011.
He joined Aston Villa in July 2017 with a one-year contract.
