The club supporters salute their legend Terry
The club legend was given a guard of honour on Sunday, May 21, by his Chelsea team-mates on the final match day at home to Sunderland after he played 26 minutes.
He has been at the club since age of 14 and played for his last game for 26 minutes to correspond with his jersey number.
It was all claps for John terry
"Ideally, I would have loved to stay, but the club's moving in a different direction. I couldn't play for another Premier League club," said Terry.
"It will be elsewhere for sure. I feel as though I'm in great nick, I'm playing great and I've got a couple of years to go.
"The club will move on. No player is ever bigger than the club. No doubt they'll sign one or two great centre-backs."
"They said that when the new manager comes in, things might change.
"It's not going to be a fairytale ending. I'm not going to retire at Chelsea, which it took me a couple of days to get over."
