Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari says skipper John Terry is a one-off.

Asked to compare Terry with the Brazilian greats he's worked with, Scolari told the Independent: "Some have John Terry's spirit but many players sometimes worry too much about being professionals and preserving themselves a lot instead of giving it all to the club, or do their jobs but only up to a limit.

"John Terry is different and some players at Chelsea are different. Even with pain or other problems that disturb them, they play, they train, they are professional in a way I have rarely seen in other places. So, that's the main difference. John Terry is an example as a captain in the same way I always enjoyed being a player.

"I was captain in teams I played for 16 years in that mould, in that style. I would give it all to my team-mates and to my clubs and at the same time I would also impose some conditions - and that's John Terry. I think that's why Capello chose him as England captain because he sees in him the same image I now have of him."
