Terry been in Trinidad & Tobago for 20 years and is so entrenched in the football here and if it weren’t for the accent you would be forgiven due to this passion for the country if you thought he always lived in Trinidad & Tobago!

The list includes Crystal Palace, Queens Park Rangers, Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City and Swindon Town and he has racked up 455 appearances at league level.
2.)Represented England at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico
In addition to his club experience Terry represented England with 20 appearances. However the most noteworthy was him representing his country at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. Sir Bobby Robson who was not knighted yet was the coach at the time and selected Terry to defend along side Terry Butcher. That World Cup was the quite a memorable one for Terry for a variety of reasons!
1.) Faced Diego Maradona when he scored the “Goal of the Century.”

The 1986 World Cup will go down in history as the tournament where Argentine Diego Maradona cemented his name on the international scene. The controversy of the famous “Hand of God” goal and then the utter brilliance of what was dubbed the “Goal of the Century.” Terry was choosen by then coach Bobby Robson to try to shackle this man, the reasons reportedly being used is his lower centre of gravity among other attributes. We all know how that game turned out but Terry saw the brilliance first hand (along with the rest of his team mates) an experience that very few ever get to.
