John Terry made his senior team debut in 1998 and quickly
established himself as one of the best defenders in the Premier
League.
Playing alongside experienced players like Dennis Wise and Marcel
Desailly, these two helped shaped Terry into a tough centre-back.
However, the 35-year-old has admitted it was something he always
had in him - even from a young age - and he wasn't afraid to leave
his mark on the senior players in training.
"As a young player it was something that was in me," Terry said.
"Off the pitch when I was really young I had so much respect for the
first team players like Dennis Wise.
"But once I was on the pitch I used to tackle the first team players,
kick them, even though they were my idols.
"I think the other players dealt with and respected that.
"Marcel used to say to me ‘you’re a young kid, this is fantastic’.
"When the older players used to say I couldn’t kick them, Marcel and
Dennis Wise would say to them ‘leave him, he’s a young boy, he’s
learning, he wants to win’."
