He was also among the golden generation of the Blues squad that won the UEFA Champions League title in Germany in 2012 after beating Bayern Munich on penalties.
During his reign at the west London side, the former Nottingham Forest defender made 492 appearances and scored 41 goals in the process.
His one year spell at Aston Villa also recorded a goal in 32 matches for the lower league side – after which he refused to pen a contract extension at the club.
Terry also won five FA Cups, a three league cups and an Europa League title in more than 700 appearances for Chelsea.
He wasn’t just superb for his club side as he also scored six times in 78 appearances for the Three Lions of England.
