He came up against Frank Lampard during the English Championship playoff final when Aston Villa and Derby County met.

Derby County manager Lampard was unable to prevent the Rams from suffering a 2-1 defeat to Terry and Aston Villa sealed promotion to the top flight of English football as a result.

Frank Lampard is expected to be named the new Chelsea manager later this week after Derby County gave the Blues the permission to speak to him.

Derby County will receive £4m in compensation from Chelsea for Frank Lampard who’s expected to sign a three-year deal worth £16.5m over that period.
