Jose Mourinho’s 10 greatest Chelsea players, celebrating his 200th game in charge

2) John Terry 

Mourinho’s ultimate captain fantastic. Terry became widely regarded as the world’s best centre-half during Mourinho’s first stint in charge, and remains his first choice now, nearly ten years after making his first start for the Portuguese manager. This is all the more impressive considering David Luiz and Gary Cahill are also in the squad. Mourinho loves Terry’s battling qualities, and his passion embodies the spirit that the boss demands from all his players. No one has given as much for Mourinho as Terry, and the pair share a seemingly unbreakable relationship and mutual respect.
