He's a centre-half. Might take him a couple of games to get match fit, but then he'll be fine. Just what we need IMO.

I don't care what role Terry has at the club, just keep him around. All of these changing faces has made things feel weird around the club.

Matt Law with another Rudiger moment. 

Bloody hell he loves to tarnish his reputation.

- Terry hosted a charity event over the weekend. People got to auction and pay money to meet, eat with, and get signed memorabilia from Terry. All proceeds went to charity. 

- Matt Law conveyed the narrative that Terry was doing this himself and the money was going to him, as if he was this desperate for cash. 

- Terry's representatives and Terry himself stepped forward and cleared the misconception. 

- Matt Law then apologized and corrected his original social media post. 

- Terry publicly replied and called him out stating if you knew the truth it wouldn't of been in your best interest as you wouldn't of had a story to write.

I went to the event and really enjoyed it, JT was brilliant spoke for the first hour about his career, how he started, things that happened along the way and then answered questions in the second part from the audience.  It was really good and if anyone gets a chance to go I would - you can get general admission for £25 and then there are other packages which include photo's, dinner etc.

JT accepted Gerrard's invitation to play in a charity game at Anfield in 2015

The Liverpool Echo gave him credit for turning out at a ground that is always hostile towards him.

The rest of the media just want to hammer him every chance they get 

f**k em all

One of the few positives of social media is how easily and quickly players (or people in general) are able to convey their side of the story if required. Really does make you think about some of the sh*te in years gone by that was simply fabricated. 

Glad Terry went after Law directly after releasing his video response to the story.

The media were c**ts to that generation. Terry, Rooney, Beckham, etc, the media were constantly trying to pull them down. Obviously some of the criticism was fair, but the majority of it was a load of sh*te fabricated by awful people. They've reined it in since they were called racist during all of those times Sterling was getting the same treatment, but it still comes out now and again.

It's done lasting damage to these former players too, because every time I see Terry mentioned, you always get the "whatever you think of him as a person, he was a great player" They always attack his character before praising him.

JT has been elected into the PL Hall of Fame ! Excellent news and well deserved.

Probably the first time in about 30 years that something I've voted for has ended up with the "right" result LOL.

[Sconnie Blue]

Let's be real, he arguably should've been inducted among the first round of nominations. Kompany being before him is a piss take.  Interesting how they finally allowed Terry to be a nominee in but they are still waiting on Giggs. 

Best CB in the Premier League era for me. About time.

Very well deserved for a legend.

Talk about tugging at the heartstrings. That's got me emotional as well.

Well deserved, though I think this Hall of fame stuff is all American style popularity contests.

John's real honours is the place he holds in our hearts, Chelsea history, winners medals, the memories, being our greatest ever captain during our greatest ever period.

Captain.  Leader. Legend. Says it all.

Can’t ever remember him having a howler, or getting skinned by a speed merchant. Phenomenal footballer

[Timmy Elms]

Clocked him at Pets At Home in Raynes Park bout 10 years ago. He was looking at dog baskets with his partner Toni Poole. Shocked by just how massive he was across the shoulders. Proper Honey Monster. From waist to shoulders looked like a snooker frame. His anatomy helped him become a master of the subtle, just right side of legal body check. Loved the guy

We'll never get another one like JT, and tbh I'm convinced he could've played until Silva's age, the Aston Villa fans loved him. Conte just wanted more pace at the back, a bit similar to Villas-Boas who probably would've tried to sell JT had he stayed.
