During his time with the Blues, Terry won five Prem titles, five FA Cups and the Champions League.

He also established himself as one of England's best defenders.

However, Terry admits there were some players he struggled to come up against.

After being inducted into the Hall of Fame, he said: "Thierry Henry was the best I came up against, the one I feared the most.

"Next has to be Wayne Rooney. He was a top, top player and what he achieved was incredible.

"I don’t know if it gets overlooked a little bit just how good Wayne was when he first broke into the England team. 

"I remember playing against him in the Premier League and having him as a teammate in the England sessions. He was phenomenal.

"I’d also say Sergio Aguero or Harry Kane were difficult to come up against."
