John Terry insists adding a Championship promotion with Aston Villa to his decorated CV would rival his other significant achievements in the game.

However, the former Chelsea and England captain knows that the midlands club's season would have to be deemed a failure if they fail to go up and restore their top-flight status.

Having won 15 major honours at Stamford Bridge, including five Premier League titles, the Champions League and Europa League, Terry ended a 22-year association with the Blues when he dropped down a level to pen a one-year contract with Steve Bruce's Villa.

Terry snubbed interest from other Premier League clubs due to a reluctance to face Chelsea and the 36-year-old is still hungry to collect more winners' medals before he turns to management.
