I have a 2011 football calendar (Think you know football). This contains a daily quiz question. The question for 8th March was:-

"In 2000, Chelsea accepted a bid of £750,000 from Huddersfield for which player who only remained at the club because he turned the move down?"

I was astounded to learn that the answer was "JOHN TERRY" !!!

I have long despaired of Chelsea's ineptitude in the transfer market but I find it incredible that the club wanted to offload Terry in 2000. Who was our manager at that time, who was willing to release Terry? Was it Ranieri?

Could have been either Vialli or Ranieri, since they both managed in 2000.

I find it hard to believe, though.

I remember that as well. Out of the 2, Jon Harley, looked like the bright young thing then. I remember JT getting his pants pulled down by Ginola against Spurs (I think on Weah debut), then he went on loan to Forest while Platt was manager. Came back a man.

Could have been either Vialli or Ranieri, since they both managed in 2000.

I find it hard to believe, though.

It did happen, I can remember it happening. He had been out on loan somewhere (Forest I think) and it was there he was spotted and a bid was made.

I remember that too, although I thought the reason it didn't go through is because Huddersfield (whose manager at the time was Steve Bruce) couldn't afford the transfer fee.
