Chelsea's Terry: 'This is what I live for'

Chelsea captain John Terry says winning premierships is what he lives for.

The 34-year old skippered the Blues to their fourth Premier League title with a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on Sunday and the veteran was over the moon after being crowned champions of England for the 2014/15 season.

"Unbelievable - we've worked so hard this year to get here. To get over the line today was a tough match, we were a little bit nervous, but we got over the line and we're champions," Terry told Sky Sports.

"They did (make it nervy for us), especially late on. Listen, they are a good side since Alan Pardew has gone there as well - they made it difficult. Thankfully Eden got the penalty and we've won the game.

"This is what I live for. I've ball-boyed, I've mascotted, I've painted the stadium, I've done everything. It's been five years since we won it and it's really hurt."
