Profile

The Eastender has developed into one of the Premier League's best defenders and was named PFA Player of the Year after a superb 2004/05 campaign. Has contributed a number of important goals at vital times and become a key man for both club and country. A strong, physical centre-back, Terry was appointed England captain in August 2006.

Early Life

Terry was born in Barking, East London and attended Eastbury Comprehensive School. Before being spotted by Chelsea, he played for Sunday League Team Senrab F.C. This team featured many future stars of the English game, including, Bobby Zamora and Paul Konchesky (both of whom now play for West Ham United), Ledley King (of Tottenham) and Jlloyd Samuel (of Aston Villa). Terry joined Chelsea's youth system at 14, playing for the club's Youth and Reserve teams as a midfielder initially. It was due to a shortage of central defenders that he was moved to centre-half and hasn't looked back.
