For Chelsea supporters, John Terry leaving their club hurts. Badly.
In the past 30 months, the club has said goodbye to Ashley Cole, Michael Essien, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba, Petr Cech and Jose Mourinho—basically every person of legendary status from their would-be golden generation.
Terry was the constant, an ever present. You cut him, he probably bleeds blue, that's how woven the centre-back is to Chelsea Football Club.
Starting his west London career aged 14, playing 18 senior seasons, amassing 703 appearances and scoring 66 goals, the club's long-serving captain seems destined to leave this summer, as reported by the Guardian's Dominic Fifield.
