John Terry: Captain, Leader, Legend But The Departing Chelsea Star Has Been Caught Up In His Own Fair Share Of Controversy

He is a modern footballer who polarises opinion like no other. To Chelsea fans, John Terry, 36, is indeed their captain, leader and legend.

A player who has made 716 appearances across 19 seasons. A homegrown hero who has won all the major trophies, whose bravery on the pitch is incomparable.

He is the player opposition fans love to hate, even if some would like him in their side. From this weekend they could get the chance when he leaves Chelsea on a free transfer. Even though he has hinted at retirement, Bournemouth are expected to offer him a two-year deal.
