Chelsea and England legend John Terry has named the team that he hates after an incident when he was just 14.

Terry, 45, will forever be regarded as one of the finest players in Premier League history, having won the title five times with Chelsea.

He also captained the side to other trophies, including the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League.

On the international stage, Terry played 78 times for England, scoring six times.

During his time with Chelsea, Terry forged bitter rivalries with the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. However, one team sticks out when it comes to the team the former defender hates the most.

Speaking on the Flashscore podcast with Petr Cech, Terry revealed his hatred for Tottenham Hotspur due to an incident that happened when he was just 14.

He said: "I hate Spurs. Honestly, it's really clear. And this is when you're at a club for so long, 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. They hate me as much as I hate them, this is fine."

John Terry's head-to-head record against Tottenham Hotspur

Throughout his time as a player, Terry enjoyed a brilliant head-to-head record against Spurs.

As per Transfermarkt, Terry played against Spurs 32 times across the Premier League, FA Cup and the EFL Cup; he came away victorious on 17 occasions.

Meanwhile, there were nine draws and just six defeats, with four coming in the Premier League and two in the EFL Cup.

Terry also recorded a total of three goals and three assists while being sent off twice, both times coming in the Premier League due to two bookable offences.
