John Terry’s Chelsea career has ended in the worst possible way

Unbelievable.

John Terry was hoping for the ultimate fairytale finish in front of his own fans at Stamford Bridge. It was confirmed a few months ago that the Chelsea club captain and iconic centre-half would be leaving the club this summer, after almost two decades of service. The immensely unpopular player among rival fans, but adored by the Chelsea faithful, was expected to end his career with a glorious swansong on the last day of the season against Leicester City. Instead, his career has come to a premature end after he picked up a second yellow card in today's 3-2 loss to Sunderland. Normally that would mean just a one-game ban, but because he was already sent off this season, having seen red against West Brom way back in August, he will now miss the final two games of 2016. https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/728976150475767808 https://twitter.com/OptaJoe/status/728977736191062016 Some of the responses to the Chelsea tweet were obvious. https://twitter.com/DeathsquadMUFC/status/728976182461501441 Rival fans delighted in his misery. https://twitter.com/krwarrier/status/728978123358801920 Some felt it was a sad way for it all to end. https://twitter.com/ChrisJordan_AFC/status/728980304023588865 While others were delighted. https://twitter.com/BlockNinety8/status/728980559825907713 https://twitter.com/Chris_J_Donovan/status/728980033344262144 And the obvious jokes were plentiful. https://twitter.com/JohnBrewinESPN/status/728978146628882432 https://twitter.com/StevenPerryman/status/728981082113232898 https://twitter.com/_JTD28/status/728978646619308032 Click snap
