Profile
A commanding central defender who dominates in the air and on the ground, John Terry made the transition from bright prospect to fully-fledged star in 2004/05 as he led Chelsea FC to the Premiership crown for the first time in 50 years.
National team
Terry made a wonderful competitive debut against F.Y.R Macedonia in UEFA EURO 2004™ qualifying, producing a towering display in place of the injured Rio Ferdinand - following it up with an equally impressive performance against Turkey. He missed the opening game of the finals - a 2-1 defeat by France - through injury, but played in the wins against Switzerland and Croatia, as well as the quarter-final loss to Portugal. Continues to compete with Ferdinand and Sol Campbell for the two places at the back in England's FIFA World Cup campaign.
Club
Terry rose through the youth ranks at Chelsea to make his debut for the club in October 1998 under Gianluca Vialli. He was Chelsea's young player of the year in 2001 and in 2002 scored the winning goals in both the quarter-final and semi-final of the FA Cup in the latter of those campaigns. Terry became captain as Chelsea finished Premiership runners-up in 2003/04.
2004/05: He made 36 appearances in Chelsea's march to the Premiership title and also provided four important goals in the run to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, most notably the winner against FC Barcelona at Stamford Bridge in the Round of 16. He was voted PFA Player of the Season.
