Terry's Number 26

[Morpheus 8]

few years back on the stamford brdige tour the guide said he took that number because in training gianfranco zola said he was always going one better than him so he gave him the number 26

Go on one for me. With the financial crisis the way it is, i fear i will never make it to our mecca.

And me. England 2 Australia? No chance!

Also - Zola told Terry to take it so the Chelsea captains went up in order - 25 to 26.

That's what I heard.

I was told on the tour that they used to sit in numerical order in the changing rooms.

JT wanted to sit next to Zola so took 26. Whether it's true or not I don't know but that's what I was told.

I heard it was the only number available so he took it.

Chappy, Marcel, Franck & Le Saux had all the low numbers..

Just pure coincidence it was 26.

Bridge by the way has "25" on his back at Citeh....

This is the best - Ben Haim wears 26 at City. But isn't he at Sunderland now?!

We ruined his career.

Yea is true, JT always wanted to be one better than Franco, Ummm Cudicini took 23 same reason as Beckham, love for Michael Jordan, Ummm what else... Oh yea Lenny Pedgley or how ever you spell it was given 40 by the lads after Chels beat Watford 4-0 with him in goal for Watford, in the changing rooms, they sit in nationalities or same speaking language and goalies are together, I'll see what else I can remember....
