John Terry is set to rewrite the Chelsea record books, as he will become the second longest serving captain of the club in terms of appearances if he plays against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
Terry is now level with Dennis Wise on 298 games with the Blues' armband, and the latter says he will be only too happy to see the 28-year-old get past him.
"It's fantastic. People are always at some stage going to break your records and achieve something and if there's one person I'd like to see do it, it would be John," Wise told the club's official website.
"He has come all the way through and done fantastically well, I'm chuffed to bits for him. He is a true Blue and a boy who always wanted to achieve a lot as a young kid.
"All those times he spent out there on his own, training and doing what he could to make himself better, have paid off, so well done to him."
The all-time Chelsea record is currently held by another defender, Ron 'Chopper' Harris, who made 324 appearances as captain.
