Chelsea skipper John Terry believes he has a special relationship with Blues fans.

Terry believes that the supporters acknowledge the hard work that he and others had to put in to stay at the top.

"For me, having come through at this club, I have definitely had a special relationship and rapport with the fans, there is no doubt about it," he told Chelsea magazine.

"It doesn't matter who comes in, I think they appreciate that I came through the ranks here and saw it all - cleaning boots and dressing rooms, tidying up after the senior players, painting Stamford Bridge and washing kit."
