Former Chelsea soccer player, John Obi Mikel, has shared some memories about his old captain, John Terry, and how he led the team at Stamford Bridge.
John Terry is known as one of the best defenders in the history of the Premier League and England. He led the Chelsea team for most of his career.
Mikel played many games under Terry’s leadership. Now, he’s shared what Terry would do when things got hard during a match.
On The Obi One Podcast, Mikel, who is from Nigeria, talked about those tough times. He said, “I played with John Terry. When the game is hard and if we’re losing, in the dressing room, before the manager says anything, Terry would come to you.”
“He would come and say, ‘Wake up, what’s wrong with you?’
“Sometimes, he would even grab you by the neck to get your attention.”
