Chelsea skipper Azpilicueta: Terry a great captain

Chelsea skipper Cesar Azpilicueta has spoken of the leadership of John Terry.

The Aston Villa coach was captain at Chelsea when Azpilicueta first arrived.

He recalled to chelseafc.com: "The first day I arrived he was ready to help me if I needed anything.

"I could see every day in training sessions his mentality, his way of competing. When I arrived Chelsea had just won the Champions League and all the trophies before that, but he still had this ambition and this hunger.

"It was the same with Frank (Lampard) when he captained. It's something that tells you a lot. They were winners. They wanted to win in every training session and every game."
