Chelsea captain John Terry says he doesn't take the jeers from opposition fans to heart.

Having won 16 trophies in 11 years as captain of the Blues, Terry believes that the vitriol from opposition supporters would turn to love if he was a part of their side rather than the champions.

"You hope that when you hang up your boots, obviously, you don't want to be hated," Terry told the Men in Blazers podcast. "You just want to be known as a very good footballer and someone who gave their all for their club."

One the abuse he receives, the former England captain added: "I'm sure that if I was in their team, they (the opposing fans) would love me in their team because I'm one of those players who gives everything to the cause.

"Regardless of what people think or say, you can't take away what I've done in the game. As a person and player, that's for anyone who's met me.

"Anyone who's not met me shouldn't be judging me or the character or person I am but as I say footballing wise they've had opportunities to see me play and if you're a football person you can make a judgement on whether I'm a good player or not."
