John Terry, a dedicated Chelsea supporter, fiercely rebutted Jamie O’Hara’s bold claim regarding Tottenham’s global club status, delivering a brutal and factual response ahead of their London derby.
Chelsea legend John Terry delivered a scathing response to claims that Tottenham Hotspur is a bigger club, using his own trophy cabinet as evidence to dismiss the suggestion.
The controversy escalated following a light-hearted, yet competitive, exchange on social media with Spurs midfielder James Maddison.
The back-and-forth began after Tottenham’s recent Europa League final win, which ended the club’s 17-year major trophy drought.
Maddison, celebrating the victory, jokingly referenced Terry’s infamous 2012 Champions League celebration, posting: “To kit. Full John Terry mode. Anything to say tonight John?”
Terry, celebrated as Chelsea’s most decorated captain, swiftly hit back with a ruthless reply that underscored the trophy disparity between the clubs.
On his Instagram story, Terry wrote:
“I remember my first trophy ah bless them. Get the tequila out. Great season from you boys, you should be all proud! 16 to go 😂 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 After that performance I think you have a chance. You just have to live for 900 years 😂”
He later continued the jest at a golf event, stating:
“By the way, it’s been a week and I’ve won the same amount of trophies as Spurs,” further cementing his stance on the hierarchy of London football clubs.
