It’s happening: John Terry is leaving Chelsea

SportsJOE

It’s over. It’s finally over.

Almost.

John Terry is in his final few months at Stamford Bridge.

The Chelsea skipper’s contract is up at the end of the season but the former England centre half confirmed to media after his side’s 5-1 FA Cup victory at MK Dons that his time with the Blues would not be renewed.

Terry has been with Chelsea since 1998 and plans to continue playing after his time with the Londoners is up. But he stated that he would not play for another English club.

It seems that the decision was the club’s and not exactly Terry’s.

The Chelsea legend will be remembered for not playing in the 2012 Champions League final but still managing to kit out – shin pads and all – to lift the cup.
