Terry Is Iconic Face of Chelsea's Defence

The 35-year-old has been a rock in Chelsea's defence since making his debut in 1998 and continues to play at a high level despite his age. He and Gary Cahill led the west London club to the best defensive record of the 2014-15 campaign (32 goals conceded), a big factor in the Blues' run to the title, per the Premier League.

While Chelsea haven't enjoyed similar success in 2015-16, the veteran club skipper remains a key component of the defence, both as a player and as a leader. 

The Blues don't have a ton of depth in the central areas, as Terry, Cahill and Kurt Zouma are the only centre-backs with significant Premier League experience in the squad.

Zouma suffered a knee injury in early February that will keep him sidelined for the rest of the season, so Hiddink has been low on options in Terry's absence.
