Former Chelsea captain John Terry has reminisced on an incident that happened when he was a youngster that just became a member of the Chelsea first team.

Dennis Wise, who was Chelsea's captain at that time, was tough on Terry for not being prudent as a youngster by spending his Champions League bonus on an expensive car, a car Wise forced him to sell.

Speaking on The Footballer's Guide to Football podcast, as quoted by Sport Bible, Terry revealed how Dennis Wise brought him up in his earlier days at Chelsea.

''I got a Champions League bonus and I went out and stupidly bought a car with the bonus I was on. I was 19 at the time. I came in with my car and Wisey got me up round the throat in the corridor in front of everyone: 'Who do you think you are? Go and take the car back.''' he said

The five time Premier League winner said he sold the car and instead bought a house.
