Terry proud of Chlesea loyalty

John Terry says he is proud to have stayed at Chelsea his whole career and would like to takeover as manager at Stamford Bridge in the future.

Terry joined the club as a 14-year-old and, and bar a loan spell at Nottingham Forest as a youngster, the England captain has only ever played for the Blues, insisting he cannot see himself featuring for anyone else other than the west London outfit.

“For me, you don’t see [one-club players] in this day and age,” he told Chelsea TV.

“You see a couple of the Man United lads and Stevie G [Gerrard] at Liverpool, but other than that you couldn’t count five people on your hand.”

“It is a rare breed and I am really proud to have spent my whole career here.”

“I have been fortunate enough to start at a very young age and to see different managers come in, big managers, and for me to keep improving.”

“One because I have wanted to and secondly because I see this as my club and always will.”

Terry is the most successful Chelsea captain of all time, while he is currently sits fifth on the club’s all-time appearances list, and admits he would love to manage the Blues after he retires.

“I have learnt over the years from managers I’ve had and I have worked out [training] sessions from the last seven or eight years,” he said.

“I have got stacks and stacks at home. It is just a case of putting it into my way.”

“Dennis [Wise] said about having your own people within and it is so important if you are a manager that you are controlling everything.”

“It is all or nothing for me and if I don’t get the chance to take the reins on everything, that would probably make my mind up whether I do take a job if I get the opportunity.”
