4. John Terry
He is arguably one of the most hated players in the country, but is also arguably one of the greatest captains not just in the Premier League but for his national side as well. He thrown into the deep end, when he was made Chelsea captain by Jose Mourinho in 2004, when he was just 23 years old. And like any great leader, he caught the drift, before it was too late.
Having taken over the armband from Marcel Desailly, he has proven to be more than a worthy successor, having overseen the club’s most successful decade in their history. And whilst managers have come and gone around him, in those 10 years, he has remained an ever-present and is still an inspiration to many, at the club.
His reign as captain has seen him win 12 major honours, including the Premier League thrice and the Champions League once. Whilst his name was besmirched by controversy of late, he still remains an influential leader for the Blues, on the pitch.
