John Terry Player Career Award Sponsored by Serie A

Awarded by: His Highness Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Sports Council

He’s a true football legend, having clinched 5 Premier League titles, 5 FA Cups, and the prestigious Champions League. As a stalwart captain for both Chelsea and the English National team, he was under the tutelage of football luminaries such as Mourinho, Capello, Ancelotti, and Ranieri, and made his debut for the London Blues under the watchful eye of the unforgettable Gianluca Vialli. John Terry was a formidable defender, a dynamic and agile centre-half, a champion imbued with determination and grit. He donned the Chelsea jersey 717 times, proudly wearing the captain’s armband in a remarkable 580 matches. His legacy is rooted in the relentless sacrifice and unyielding determination that saw him clinch Premier League glory by featuring in every match and never once stepping off the pitch for a substitute.
