Chelsea legend John Terry has shared the pitch at Stamford Bridge with some of the best players to ever play the game, however it seems he didn’t always get on with all of them.
Terry is seen as one of the best leaders in footballing history, and captained the Blues to five Premier League titles and Champions League glory in 2012.
In this time, the England international has competed alongside some of the best in Chelsea’s history. Terry named Frank Lampard as his best teammate ever ahead of the likes of Eden Hazard and Didier Drogba.

John Terry names his two most annoying Chelsea teammates
Two of those teammates who Blues fans look back on very fondly are Diego Costa and David Luiz, with the latter forming an impressive partnership with Terry in the past.
Despite their good relationship on the pitch, it appears that did not always carry off it. The former captain stated that Luiz and Costa were the most annoying teammates he ever had in training.
Costa’s character was always one that would cause contention with opposition players, and it seems like this has continued even after his time in the Premier League has come to an end.
Costa clashed with Martin Skrtel in a charity match at Stamford Bridge during the international break, showing his tendencies to still fight for the badge are very much alive.

Costa’s warcry to Terry upon Chelsea arrival
That desire to win was evident from as soon as the Spaniard arrived in West London, when he addressed one of the biggest characters in the squad as soon as he joined.
As per the Evening Standard back in 2016, the striker announced himself to some of the top personalities with an eight-word message.
They said: “Oscar introduces Terry, Cahill, Ivanovic and Matic to Diego Costa. They shake hands, then Costa straightens up and delivers his pitch in heavily-accented halting English.
“I go to war. You come with me.”
The Spain international would help fire Chelsea to two of the Premier League trophies Terry won, and even if they didn’t always get on while training things certainly worked out on the pitch.
