John Terry names the 'incredible' wasted talent who could have become a Chelsea legend 


Terry played with some of the Premier League's all-time greats during his time at Stamford Bridge but Wollaston is likely unknown to many fans.


The midfielder had a chance to break into the first team under Ruud Gullit in the late 1990's but Terry explained he struggled to bridge the gap between the academy and first team

When asked about players who never fulfilled their potential at The Blues, Terry replied: "Probably a boy called Rob Wolleaston at Chelsea.


"He was like a midfielder/winger, had so much ability.


"I still know Rob now, but mentally didn't have that to go and push himself."

The 41-year-old goes on to explain the key incident which made him realise Wollaston may not make it at Stamford Bridge.


"He got chose to train with the first team at a really young age, 17 or 18, did really well and Gullit told him he was going to play in the first team in a cup game.


He then phoned up on the day of the game and said he was sick.
