Chelsea to the core and a true hero to the fans, John is the most successful captain in Chelsea history and in many eyes, he's the best central defender currently in action.
As brave as they come and a superb reader of the game, sound technique and distribution make him more than just a defenders' defender.
Born in east London, John has been with Chelsea since the age of 14 when he was initially a medium-build midfielder.
Filling in as youth team centre-back one day due to a lack of alternatives, he has never looked back, aided by a rapid growth in physical stature.
A short and successful loan spell at Nottingham Forest helped the maturing process and having taken on board lessons first hand from the likes of Marcel Desailly and Frank Leboeuf, he was voted Chelsea Player of the Year just two seasons after his debut.
John was handed his England debut in June 2003. He was first choice for his country at Euro 2004 and the 2006 World Cup, taking on the captaincy following that tournament.
At Chelsea he had already taken on the skipper's role, having understudied Desailly - and led the club to the elusive title in his very first year with the armband.
With the Carling Cup also lifted, John became one of only four Chelsea captains to skipper the club to major honours and he more than played his part on the pitch in 2004/05 with a succession of world class displays and eight crucial goals.
