Terry equals Pallister record

The Chelsea captain has played every minute of
the 2014-15 season for the Blues and lifted the
trophy on Sunday, having featured throughout the
clash with Sunderland
John Terry became only the second outfield player
in Premier League history to win the league title
and not miss a single minute of the season after
he completed Chelsea ’s final match of the
campaign against Sunderland at Stamford Bridge
on Sunday.
The Chelsea skipper led his team throughout the
entirety of their title-winning season and equalled
the achievement of former Manchester United
centre-half Gary Pallister , who was an ever-
present during the Premier League’s inaugural
season which was played over 42 games.
Terry’s achievement has made a mockery of Rafa
Benitez’s claim that he could no longer play two
games per week during his tenure at the club, with
the Blues captain scoring five goals to aid his
team's cause in the league.
A number of other Premier League players have
been ever-present throughout the season, with the
likes of Leighton Baines , Martin Skrtel, Roger
Johnson and Ledley King also in the elite club,
though none of the aforementioned managed to
win the Premier League.
Terry lifted the title on Sunday - the fourth Premier
League trophy he has won in his career.
