John Terry admits his ‘hate’ for Spurs ‘still the same now’
Former Chelsea captain John Terry has admitted he has not lost any of his ‘hate’ for London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
Terry made 717 appearances for Chelsea during a decorated career with the club, in which the centre-back captained the Blues to five Premier League titles among his honours.
Having come through the academy to play a key role in Chelsea’s most successful era, Terry was well-versed in the club’s rivalries.
Speaking to Petr Cech in an interview for Flashscore, Terry told his former teammate that the hatred towards Tottenham remains with him, almost a decade after his departure from Stamford Bridge.
“I hate Spurs. Honestly, it’s really clear,” he said.
“And this is when you’re at a club for so long, from 2014 when I first joined the club. I remember being a ball boy when I was 14, 15, and I was by the Spurs fans and they were abusing me. I was a kid.
“They were abusing me, throwing stuff at me, and it was like, wow, I feel it. I really feel, and that just stayed with me. And also really proud of the fact we, in our time, we never lost a home game against Spurs. And that’s still the same now.”
