#1 John Terry
Captain. Leader. Legend. These are the words which first strike the mind when you hear John Terry's name.
Joining Chelsea at a very young age back in 1998, the defender has seen a lot in the past 19 years. Consistency, quality defending, inspirational leadership, goal scoring abilities and distribution skills, Terry had it all. He was a complete package.
One of the most important players in the Mourinho era, Terry was one of the key factors in making Chelsea the European and Premier League superpower it is today. John Terry is one of the finest centre-backs England has ever produced.
He has won a lot of trophies at the club as well. 5 Premier League, 5 FA Cups, 3 League Cups, 2 Community Shield, 1 Champions League and 1 Europa League to be precise.
Apart from the trophies, the Englishman has a lot of accolades to his name. Two Chelsea Player of The Year, PFA Team of The Century, 3 UEFA Club Defender of The Year and many more.
Terry's departure to Aston Villa has left Chelsea searching for his replacement and the club believes Andreas Christensen is the man to fill in the gap.
