John Terry lifts the lid on Rooney studs incident in Instagram Q&A

John Terry is one of the most decorated players in the modern Premier League era.

During his career the 41-year-old made 492 league appearances for Chelsea, winning an incredible five league titles, five FA Cups, and the 2012 Champions League with the Blues.

Having played for so long in the English top-flight, there’s no doubt that the centre-back has a few interesting stories to tell about his time as a professional footballer and on Sunday, he shed some light on those during an Instagram Q&A session.

Terry also gave fans a glimpse of his incredible trophy room, which features multiple caps, miniature trophies and several MOTM awards, before clearing up a few rumours on stories that have recently been circulating in the news.

One of those stories included his response to Wayne Rooney’s controversial account of when the striker once went out to hurt a Chelsea player during a game between Manchester United and the London side in 2006.

Angry that the Blues were one point off winning the league title, Rooney decided to change his studs, putting longer grips into his boots and subsequently landed a horror challenge on Terry.

The defender would ultimately need two stitches at half-time but cleared up his side of the incident on his Instagram, admitting that there was no harm done between the pair.

He was asked: “Do you care what Rooney said in his recent documentary about the stud heights to injure a player?”

The Chelsea legend responded: “Of course not.

“We know each other well enough and had many battles over the years.

“Two stitches at half-time, there was no way I wasn’t coming out for the second half to win the league beating Man Utd 3-0.”
