Mikel: Terry, a true captain and great leader


By Akeem Lawal
NIGERIA captain, John Mikel Obi has paid tribute to former England and Chelsea captain John Terry following his retirement from football, Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com reports.


Mikel joined Terry at the Stamford Bridge in 2006 and the duo were teammates for 10 years before winning two Premier League titles, three FA Cups, the League Cup, the Champions League and Europa League before the Super Eagles captain left for Tianjin TEDA in China in 2017.

Terry announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 37 on Monday as he prepares to move into coaching and Mikel says it was an honour to work and win with the former England captain, whom he described as a true captain and great leader.

“Oi Georgie mate what a career you’ve had! It has been an honour to work, win and share good old banter with you. You are a true Captain and a great Leader, I’m grateful to have been able to learn from you. Enjoy your retirement old boy 😉and good luck in all your future endeavours. @johnterry.26,” Mikel said on his Instagram account mikel_john_obi.
