John Terry is one of the most iconic Premier League players of the modern era, a ferocious competitor on the pitch, and seems to have a lot of that fight spirit, judging by recent comments in the odd spat with former British internationals.
With five top flight titles alongside the Champions League and Europa League, there are few men who boast such a strong CV and an influence at the elite level over such a long period.
Nevertheless, players retire and the legacy is rewritten into part, including former experts who have a wealth of stars around the original profession, by the order of those who think they are most talented.
On this occasion, Terry is making an intriguing reading as an unexpected feud, with the exception of the three former lion men who share his opinion, not the first time.
John Terry steals Carlton Palmer and Spat
Terry previously had problems with former Leeds United’s Carlton Palmer.
Palmer said, “There will be arguments that Desairee and Carvalho were better than him, and that the two players were better than him. But I wouldn’t argue that he would go to the top five. I don’t think he’s better than Rio Ferdinand.”
Replying at the time, Terry made an ock-lol of an earlier clip that showed him wrongly saying he played against the Stamford Bridge icon in 1991.
Now, a fresh video of Carel Prince, which has become a social media sense to point out false storytelling from former football players on his podcast, prompted another jab from Terry.
Undoing the story, Terry has a fresh pop in Palmer, writing about his personal story: “I was 11 years old and still better than this clown.”
Will John Terry return to full-time coaching?
Surprisingly, Terry admitted earlier this year that he was about to break through with full-time management teams, enjoying life within the Chelsea academy setup.
He told the Sun: “I’ve finished in coaching. I enjoy my life. I work at Chelsea Academy. I’m not a coach now. I’m a mentor, ambassador. I’ve gone to a few jobs. I’m enjoying my life a little that day.
Previously, Terry was Aston Villa’s assistant manager and coached the 26ers of the UK’s Baller League, but for now, the chance to witness the British in a professional dugout appears to be off the table again.
