John George Terry or wellknown with John Terry was born on December 7,1980. He is an English professional footballer. Terry plays in a centre back position and is the captain of Chelsea in the Premier League. He was also captain of the England national football team, holding the post from August 2006 to February 2010, and from March 2011 to February 2012.
Chelsea to the core and a true hero to the
fans, John is the most successful captain in Chelsea history and in many
eyes, he's the best central defender currently in action.
As brave as they come and a superb reader of the game, sound
technique and distribution make him more than just a defenders'
defender.
Born in east London, John has been with Chelsea since the age of 14 when he was initially a medium-build midfielder.
Filling in as youth team centre-back one day due to a lack of
alternatives, he has never looked back, aided by a rapid growth in
physical stature.
A short and successful loan spell at Nottingham Forest helped the
maturing process and having taken on board lessons first hand from the
likes of Marcel Desailly and Frank Leboeuf, he was voted Chelsea Player
of the Year just two seasons after his debut.
He took the captaincy, having understudied Desailly, in 2004 and led
the club to the elusive title in his very first year with the armband.
With the Carling Cup also lifted, John became one of only four
Chelsea captains to skipper the club to major honours and he more than
played his part on the pitch in 2004/05 with a succession of world-class
displays and eight crucial goals.
He was voted PFA Player of the Year by his fellow professionals, the first Chelsea winner of the accolade.
John's incredible consistency continued in 2005/06 when injury in the
final week robbed him of a full house of Premiership games as he lifted
the trophy for a second time.
He scored seven times in all competitions and was voted Chelsea Player of the Year for a second time.
Although he already had well over 300 club appearances to his name,
the 2006/07 season was interrupted by prolonged injury as a back problem
and related difficulties took time to repair.
However he was back and fighting in plenty of time to become the first to lift the FA Cup at the new Wembley.
Injuries limited him to 37 appearances from a possible 62 in 2007/08.
Knee, cheek, foot and elbow injuries all took their toll on the man
then manager Avram Grant described as 'bionic', but he was still there
barking orders in Moscow in our first Champions League final.
Charged with converting our fifth spot kick in the Luzhniki Stadium
to bring the trophy back to London, he slipped on a sodden pitch and saw
his effort hit the post.
Held in the highest regard by all at the club, JT bounced back
quickly in 2008/09 to lead in new eras under Luiz Felipe Scolari and
then Guus Hiddink, his form rarely deviating from outstanding.
A number of defensive performances stood out as the captain
maintained his best run of games for some time, despite red cards
against Manchester City (rescinded) and Everton.
His greatest hour of the campaign was the near faultless display in
the Camp Nou, earning a 0-0 draw against a Barcelona team that had
scored freely all season.
Though we were never in the league race after the beginning of
February, John still got his hands on silverware as he captained an FA
Cup-winning side for the second time.
In 2009/10 JT turned in another season of remarkable consistency in
which he was rewarded by becoming the first Chelsea captain to lift the
Double.
On the field, Terry did not miss a game through injury, and while
others around him suffered with fitness - every other Chelsea defender
had a prolonged absence at some point in the season - it was he who
played out the entire campaign alongside either Ricardo Carvalho, Branislav Ivanovic or Alex.
Against Manchester United at home, the captain rose highest to head
the game's only goal and when headlines about his personal life began to
appear, his response was predictable, heading home a winner at Burnley
to seize three points.
He was again on the scoresheet to see us into the FA Cup semi-finals.
Having lifted his third Premier League trophy a week early, he did the
same with the FA Cup after overcoming a metatarsal scare, and almost
netted after heading against the crossbar.
His second season under Carlo Ancelotti saw Terry maintain his form
when many around him lost theirs during a bad midwinter.Results
especially suffered when the skipper was injured for a two-week spell in
the November.
Although 2010/11 was a rare one without trophies for John, in the
April at home to Spurs he reached a major personal landmark of 500
Chelsea games, only the fifth player to reach that total.
International
John was handed his England debut in June
2003 against Serbia and Montenegro, and was first choice for his country
at Euro 2004 and the 2006 World Cup, taking on the captaincy under
Steve McClaren following that tournament.
Chelsea's first homegrown to be capped by England since Ray Wilkins
in the mid 70s, Terry became our first England skipper of the
professional age, although the armband was taken away by Fabio Capello
in February 2010 following media stories about John's private life.
Having already lifted the FA Cup there for his club, John became the
scorer of the first international goal at the new Wembley, heading home
the opener in England's 1-1 draw with Brazil.
With injury having robbed him of the chance to repair England's
faltering Euro 2008 qualifying campaign, he led his country to
qualification for the South Africa World Cup in 2010, and played in all
four of his country's games, supplying a rare memorable moment in that
tournament when he attempted a diving horizontal block, with his head, a
mere foot off the ground against Slovenia.
In March 2011 he was reappointed England captain on a full-time basis by Capello.
