John Terry has hit back at Rio Ferdinand 's claim that the former Chelsea man is only the fifth-best centre-back in Premier League history with a "stats don't lie" post.
The 41-year-old is regarded as one of the greatest defenders in the top-flight era, having consistently performed at the highest level for almost two decades. He ended up winning five Premier League titles and countless other trophies, including the Champions League in 2012.
Terry finished his career on 492 top-flight appearances and is known by many as Chelsea's most successful captain in the club's history. He was also capped 78 times by England before retiring from international football in 2012 to concentrate on his club career.
