Club career
Early career

Terry was born in Barking, east London, and attended Eastbury Comprehensive School.[citation needed] Terry played initially for Senrab, a side that featured many future stars of the English game, including Premier League players Sol Campbell, Jermain Defoe, BobbyZamora, Ledley King and Jlloyd Samuel.[12] As a boy he initially was part of West Ham United's youth system, joining them as a midfielder in 1991.[13] He moved to Chelsea at 14, playing for the club's youth and reserve teams. It was due to a shortage of central defenders that he was moved to centre-back, the position he plays today.
Early time with Chelsea

Terry made his Chelsea debut on 28October 1998 as a late substitute in a League Cup tie with Aston Villa; his first start came later that season in an FA Cup third round match, a 2–0 win over Oldham Athletic. He spent a brief period on loan with Nottingham Forest in 2000 to build up his first team experience and was subject to interest from both Forest manager David Platt and Huddersfield Town manager Steve Bruce.[14][15][16][17]...
