Terry, who is 44 years old, won many trophies with Chelsea during his time as captain. He played over 700 games for the club and is widely regarded as one of Chelsea's best players of all time. When Terry left Chelsea in 2017, he joined Aston Villa on a free transfer.
At the time, Aston Villa was playing in the Championship, which is the second tier of English football. Villa lost in the Play-Off Final to Fulham that season. However, Terry had agreed with Villa that if they were promoted to the Premier League, he would not play against Chelsea the following year.
Speaking to a talk radio show, Terry explained his decision to make this agreement. He said that Chelsea had offered him another contract, but he chose to join Villa instead. Terry wanted to stay at Chelsea forever, but he felt he had one more year of football left in him.
Terry's decision to make this agreement shows his loyalty to Chelsea, even after he left the team. He played for Chelsea for 19 years and won many trophies with the club. This is often a rare thing in football, where players usually prioritize their own interests over their loyalty to their former teams.
During his time at Chelsea, Terry won five Premier League titles, five FA Cups, three League Cups, and both the Champions League and Europa League. He is remembered as one of Chelsea's best players of all time.
