John Terry has hit back at Rio Ferdinand on Twitter following the former Manchester United defender's interview with Virgil van Dijk ahead of the Champions League final. The former Chelsea captain, who is often regarded as one of the greatest defenders in the top-flight era, was ranked as the fifth best centre-half in Premier League history by his fellow countryman - Ferdinand put himself at the top of the pile.
The 41-year-old performed at the highest level for almost two decades, winning five league titles, five FA Cups, and two European honours, among countless other pieces of silverware too. Terry finished his career on 492 top-flight appearances and is known by many as the Blues' most successful captain in the club's history.
He also featured 78 times for England before retiring from international football in 2012 to concentrate on his club career. But, despite Terry's credentials and a glittering trophy cabinet, Ferdinand ranked the former Chelsea defender fifth in the all-time Premier League centre-half rankings behind Jaap Stam in fourth, Van Djik third, Nemanja Vidic in second and himself top.
