'Dennis Wise got me round the throat in front of everyone': John Terry reveals how the former Chelsea captain gave him 'the best advice' when he was just 19... while throttling him in a corridor!

John Terry has revealed the incredible story of how one of his predecessors as Chelsea captain, Dennis Wise, grabbed him by the throat when he was a teenager - before giving him 'the best bit of advice I could have had'.

Terry, now Aston Villa's assistant manager, reflected on the story while talking to The Footballer's Guide to Football podcast.

'I remember I was in the first team and got a Champions League bonus and I went out and stupidly bought a car with the bonus I was on,' Terry said.
