John Terry gets a head-start on pre-season training as Chelsea captain practices drills at Cobham six weeks before season starts

John Terry put much of his fantastic form in Chelsea's Barclays Premier League title success down to his summer preparations, and the Blues' captain is readying himself for the new campaign in much the same way.

The 34-year-old skipper played every minute of every game as Jose Mourinho's charges blew away in the competition to secure their first Premier League title in five years.

That came less than two years after he written off by many after falling out of favour under interim manager Rafa Benitez and now Terry appears determined to keep up his ways from last season.
