John Terry is Chelsea through and through, having joined the club at the age of 14 before breaking into the first team and then going on to captain the club.
As he was at the club as a young lad when apprentice footballers were still a thing, Terry had to help out some of the senior players with the tasks they couldn't be bothered to do, and some of them were pretty ridiculous.
During an interview with 'Chelsea Pitch Owners' John Terry has revealed that the players he had to help out were Dennis Wise and Michael Duberry, and one task that he had to perform in particular sticks out as a bit strange:
I’d make their teas and coffees, even silly things like sit on the toilet to make the seat warm for them in the cold winter days at the training ground. It’s bizarre when you think about it but that was part of growing up.
Nobody likes a cold toilet seat. Terry knows this.
The Chelsea captain continued to explain the detail of care that Dennis Wise took in the preparation of his football boots:
I used to have put newspaper inside [Wise’s boots] to keep the shape and make sure they were dry for the game. He wanted them right. From day one he pulled me and said, “Listen, these are the tools of my trade. I want everything right about them so when I go into my game the last thing I’m thinking about is my boots.
I wonder does Ruben Loftus-Cheek have to prepare the toilet seat for Eden Hazard's bottom today? No, he almost certainly does not. Perhaps that's why football has gone so soft.
