Career in Pictures: Chelsea legend John Terry

Final farewell

After joining the club as a 14-year-old lad, to making his debut in 1998, Terry picked up his final piece of silverware in May 2017 after captaining Chelsea to their latest Premier League title – his fifth in total, and 15th major honour overall.

It was on April 17, 2017, that the defender announced he would be leaving The Blues at the end of the season.

His final appearance for the club came against Sunderland at Stamford Bridge (above) on May 21, in a 5-1 win over The Black Cats, with Terry coming off after 28 minutes, with the fourth official’s board being lifted in the 26th minute – the same as that of his shirt number – with his team mates giving him a guard of honour off the pitch.
