Chelsea skipper Terry happy to reach appearances milestone

Chelsea skipper John Terry enjoyed victory at Swansea City.

Terry was delighted to pass former team-mate Frank Lampard's Chelsea appearance record.

It's now 649 and counting for the veteran central defender who now lies third in the club's all-time list behind Ron Harris (795) and Peter Bonetti (729).

"I think it's going to take some doing to catch the other two," said the 34-year-old.

"But I'm delighted to be where I am at the moment."

"When I was 18 and 19, on 14 or 15 games and looking at the likes of Wisey (Dennis Wise) on two or 300 games, I used to think 'wow'.

"But I'm there now and I'm looking to push on. I'm feeling great."
