Having made over 700 appearances for Chelsea, John Terry’s time at the Blues came to an end as he joined Aston Villa on Monday, as announced by the Midland club’s owner on Twitter.
His legacy at the London club will never be forgotten, having captained the Blues for many years while guiding them through large periods of success. His name became synonymous with Chelsea but, as he has aged, his role in the side diminished, especially last season under Antonio Conte.
The Italian manager settled on a back three of Cesar Azpilicueta, Gary Cahill and David Luiz which left Terry watching on from the sidelines. The 36-year-old only made nine Premier League appearances, with 33% of them coming from the bench late on in a game.
The move at the end of his contract suited all involved. Here is how Twitter reacted:
