John Terry announced not long ago that he would be leaving Chelsea at the end of the season, and the news triggered a wave of nostalgia for the career of the captain.
Terry has won everything there is to win at Chelsea, and has been a figurehead both on and off the pitch. The number of records he has broken for the club is just staggering, and his trophy cabinet is s sight to behold.
The one thing he didn’t manage to break was the club’s all time appearance record. In fact he’s only third on the list. Despite playing in a staggering 716 games for the Blues, the captain is some way short of the club record.
Ron “Chopper” Harris managed to rack up an incredible 795 appearance for the club, a record that looks to be unbeatable at this stage. If John Terry can’t manage it, then what hope is there for any lesser mortal?
