John Terry had to tell the player to stop being a ‘d***head’ (Picture: The Obi One Podcast)John Terry has named the player who was ‘very lucky’ to be at Chelsea, lasting only one season at the club before being sold to Manchester City. Blues legend Terry played with many different players in the 19 years he spent in Chelsea’s first team and there’s one ex-teammate who stands out. That player is Tal Ben Haim, an Israeli defender who spent the 2007-08 campaign at Stamford Bridge, playing a total of 23 games for Chelsea. The west London side announced the signing of Ben Haim on a Bosman transfer in 2007 after his exit from Bolton but he didn’t last long at the club. Ben Haim became better known for his off-field antics and was exiled from first-team training by Avram Grant, who was Chelsea manager at the time.
