Wayne Rooney names Chelsea legend as one of 'the best penalty takers' he's seen

The former Blues’ skipper infamously missed from 12 yards in the 2008 Champions League final against Manchester United. Terry had the opportunity to win the game for his side, but slipped in treacherous, rain-sodden conditions and skewed his effort wide of the target.

‘I say to my players now, ‘If you’re practicing, do it properly how you’d do it in a game’ and you can do as much practice, but you can’t put in places the stadium, the fans, the pressure of it – obviously it’s completely different when you’re stepping up to what it is on a training pitch.
