Captain, leader, legend … and a man you couldn’t give a red neck to with a blowtorch.
John Terry called time on his Chelsea career in the most John Terry way imaginable, with a guard of honour in the 26th minute…DURING the match.
The game was halted as the former England skipper lapped up the acclaim from the Stamford Bridge faithful as Sunderland’s bemused players looked on.
The club icon – who barely featured this season – will leave the club after 22 years and 718 appearances for the Blues.

He appeared in the full Chelsea kit to lift the Champions League trophy in 2012, despite missing the final due to suspension.
