The 36-year-old bek moved to Aston Villa this summer, despite the available offers on the hands of the clubs of the Premier League. According to Terry, one of the reasons for this choice was the reluctance to play against his former team.

"First of all, I did not want to play in the Premier League, because then I would have to play against Chelsea. I really did not want to do it, "said John.

"The second important reason for my transition to Aston Villa is the desire to work with Steve Bruce. I've been following his career as a player in Manchester United, and I really respect this man. Between us there have always been excellent relationships ".

"The head of my career in Chelsea ended. Now I am here, and new challenges face me. I always watch the Blue games, because this is my club, but now I have my goals with Villa, "- concluded Terry.

John spent in the Chelsea 19 years, winning with the Londoners, almost all possible trophies.
