You know what, every time we got drawn together, we kept thinking "let's have it". The rivalry was there for the fans and we loved coming up against you and Stevie. It was massive. The (Champions League) semi-final in 2005.
We were 30 points or something ahead of you in the table. We should have rolled you over. But the thing about Liverpool was that hunger, that fight. The fans, the passion. You and Stevie. It was everything.

Terry on the pressure as a defender in big matches
But don't you think as defenders, we get nerves that midfielders and strikers just don't get? As a defender, you have to be so mentally strong.
You could have two or three games consecutively where you are at fault for a goal. As a midfielder, if you lose your runner, nobody thinks about it, do they? Lose your marker as a centre half, it's all your fault.
You know what, I loved it up until a certain point when everything went on. It disappointed me, more than anything. I look back on my 78 caps and I'm unbelievably proud. I was captain for two spells.
It's the biggest honour you can have in football. As a kid, it's the thing that everyone wants. I'm just disappointed with how it ended, really.
The defender was capped 78 times by his country and also captained England before retiring from duty in 2012
Terry on watching the international team now
I never saw myself walking away. It took something that big to say enough is enough. I'll watch games now and it kills me. I don't miss being away. No chance. I get to spend time with my kids, I get to see them play. I get a few days off and have family time.
But I watch England games and think 'I could have been playing there'. I could have been there last summer. I had one more cap than Wazza (Wayne Rooney) when I retired. I would have been there or thereabouts, so that kind of eats away.
I gave everything to England. In Portugal in 2004, I missed the birth of my kids as I was away with England. I missed the best day of my life. So the way it finished saddens me, if I'm honest. It was the best thing ever, going away and representing England.

Terry on being substituted at half-time against Manchester City
Listen, you take it in your stride. I was more shocked than anything. But I took it and went out to watch the second half. I've got that mentality where you go in the next day, work your socks off and think to yourself "right, I'll show you".
There is no point moaning, sulking or staying in the dressing room. That's not me. I've got to where I am in my career by fronting things up. So I did and I knew, sooner or later, he'd put me back in.

Listen, his stability is massive for the club going forward. What the club have done is set a precedent and said he's the man to take us forward. He will do. This squad of players won the league last season.
There is no difference. It's a bad run of form. Really bad. When you have been at the top for so long, it's horrible. You don't want to go out after games, you don't want to show your face in public. It's that level.
