I'll probably get a few raised eyebrows when people here will read this but I think he was quite bad in that highlight reel.
As a central midfielder he was completely unaware of his surroundings once he was under pressure and easily gave away the ball with misplaced passes, he managed well giving out basic passes once he had space but every now and then he tried something 'fancier' and it backfired.
Based on this performance I personally don't think he has earned a shot anytime soon especially since USA U-21 is not even close to Premiership level.

On this day in 2004, he scored his first of many goals.

Ricky C was a brilliant defensive partner for JT but in my opinion Terry is the glue that holds together the defenses. 
 
Everyone always said Carvalho or Gallas made JT look better than he was but I always thought it was the over way around.
 
Look how often Chelsea has the best or one of the best defensive records in the league.... Through all the player and managerial changes the one constant is JT. 
 
He was voted into the FIFA Pro World XI for 5 consecutive years, something the likes of Puyol, Maldini, Cannavaro, Pique, Ramos have never managed.  
 
I can't heap enough praise on him as a player, in my eyes he is our Maldini, he the player you rely on, the player who is the symbol of your club and all it has and all it will achieve. 
 
We will not have a greater player line up in our defense, he is one of the greatest players of his generation. 

He is irreplaceable. The whole effect JT gives Chelsea is something that we will never probably be able to replace... having a leader that has the same authority like him on the pitch is rare, having a role model like him for youngsters to learn from is rare, having a world class legendary defender like him is rare, having the same defender play for 16 (and growing of course)  years in the senior club and graduate from the academy is rare.
Having the whole package? only JT can pull that off.

Whoever said Zola was overrated should be automatically banned, not only from this site, but Stamford bridge

I didn't realise this. If Terry plays against Palace today it will be his 500th match as Chelsea captain. Huge achievement.

Just wanted to express my enthusiasm from retaining Stamford Bridge as our home, as a kid I grew up in Chelsea a few minutes walk from the bridge and until this day I remember most of the walks I made to to the bridge on a match day so Stamford Bridge means quite a lot to me.
The first thing I do when I get to London these days is head to the bridge just to get the feeling that I have arrived home.
 
Although a lot of people were excited by the prospect of a new shiny stadium I'm sure there are quite a few here that have many memories from Stamford Bridge and would love to keep acquiring new ones there as well :)
