Former Chelsea captain John Terry played his last game for the club over the weekend against Sunderland and the former England International was given a guard of honour in the 26th minute of the match. It will be interesting to see what future holds for Terry.
Initially, Terry hinted at retirement saying he did not rule out Sunday's game being his last and while he has not made an official decision yet, he did mention that if the right offer came along, in Europe or anywhere in the world, he would consider it with his family.

While he said that a few days before Chelsea's final Premier League match of the season, the five times Premier League winner seemed to have changed his mind during Chelsea's trophy presentation ceremony.
"I am going to take a few weeks off now with my family to relax before making a decision on my future. But I want to carry on playing, whether it be for one or two more years. And that is the reason I decided to leave the club as I did not want to stand in the way of all the young players," The Mirror quoted Terry as saying.
Ever since it became clear that this would be Terry's last season at Stamford Bridge, a number of clubs have been linked with him. It's highly unlikely that he will get a chance to play for big clubs in Europe at this point in his career but according to reports he does have offers to from a few mediocre teams in the Premier league.
Relive John Terry's final game for Chelsea.
Terry, regarded as one of the best defenders to ever graced the field, was initially linked to Bournemouth in January. However, reports now say he has concerns over their expansive style of football and fears this could leave him exposed and instead favours a move to West Brom. Tony Pulis is keen to bolster his back line and wants Terry to partner Jonny Evans at the heart of the West Brom defence.
Another possible destination could be Swansea. Swansea manager Paul Clement worked with Terry during his days at Chelsea and said: "I will have a conversation with him. I've known him a long time,"
Terry is already 36-years old and does not have a lot of time playing time left and the likes of West Brom, Swansea and Bournemouth could easily afford his current wage of around £50,000 a week.
But if he wants some serious bank, Terry has the option to move to the Chinese Super League where clubs are willing to pay ridiculous amounts for top players from Europe.
Terry probably has another year or two left in his footballing career and it won't be long before we see him in a suit on the touchline as the manager of a club and hopefully Chelsea's one day.
