Chelsea News: Frank Lampard pays tribute to John Terry after statement
GETTY Frank Lampard pays emotional tribute to Chelsea legend John Terry
The 36-year-old will end a 22-year association with Chelsea when his contract expires, having won 14 major honours at Stamford Bridge since making his first-team debut in 1998. Most of that silverware was won alongside his "great friend" Lampard, who did not understate Terry's contribution to the Blues. The former England midfielder said on his Instagram page: "The last man standing of an incredible era for Chelsea. "What a pleasure to play with the greatest defender in the Premier League history.
"In fact, I'd put him up with any defender in world football of any era. He led the club both on and off the pitch from the moment he made his debut. "He set standards for everyone, whether it was demanding excellence in training, fighting for every win or respecting how fortunate we were to play for such a great club. "He was, and is, a legend, not just for his talent but just as much for his desire to get the best out of himself and others around him. That's what made him the most successful captain in the club's history.
