Highlights from John Terry's TV appearance on Monday Night Football

John Terry is taking his leadership to the television screen.

As Everton beat Swansea City 3-1 in the Premier League, Terry joined David Jones and Jamie Carragher in the Sky Sports studio as a special guest on Monday Night Football. It was the English centre-back's first appearance on MNF, and there was no shortage of banter.

Terry believes Mourinho's '04-'06 Chelsea side would beat Manchester City's current team

Asked which side would compete with Manchester City, Terry answered: "I would say 2004-05 or 2005-06, those first two sides when Mourinho arrived at the club."

Terry was then asked if Chelsea would beat City, to which he replied: "Yes, yes. We were never afraid to say: 'They'll have more possession than us,' but we were set, comfortable. The full-backs (William Gallas and Paulo Ferreira) would always go up the pitch, and (Claude) Makelele would always sit, which was great for us centre-backs.

"But we had great legs, great power, and we had the big man up front. Didier (Drogba) made such a difference. We had that ball into Didier, and he could hold it up, with the runners off him (Damien Duff and Arjen Robben) and (Frank) Lampard would be box-to-box game after game."

Terry picks all-time greatest Premier League XI made up of non-Chelsea players

Terry showed respect for Manchester United by revealing his all-time greatest Premier League XI made up of non-Chelsea players, as Aston Villa's captain opted for a 4-4-2 formation featuring David De Gea as goalkeeper, a back line of Gary Neville, Carragher, Rio Ferdinand, and Patrice Evra, a midfield of Cristiano Ronaldo, Steven Gerrard, Paul Scholes, and Ryan Giggs, and a front line of Wayne Rooney and Thierry Henry.

Asked to pick the best between Gerrard, Lampard, and Scholes, Terry said: "I'm going to say Lamps, aren't I? But I do think naturally Scholes was unbelievable. He did things I've not seen many players do. He was incredible. But having seen Lamps training, and seeing what he could do, he was unbelievable."

After being named, Carragher declared: "Oh behave! You creep! You must be after a job at Sky."

Terry says 'it's worrying signs' for Swansea

"Paul Clement has to go to the transfer market in January and I hope he gets backed by the owners," Terry stated. "It's worrying signs at the moment and they could do with a win tonight. You can't rely on young Tammy Abraham to be scoring 15-20 goals. He has played his part. (Wilfried) Bony has come in and you are looking for more from him and the wide players, too."

Terry declares he 'would leave that pitch in a coffin' for Mourinho

"The best manager and coach I worked with was Mourinho," Terry claimed. "He was the first one to come in and revolutionise things at Chelsea. You would come in at 8 a.m. and he would be the one setting the cones out. He was out there in the pouring rain, getting his session ready. He would have four grids and we would move from that one to that one and between each one there were drinks. We would train for an hour and we would move from there, to there to there.

"He brought three young kids in as ballboys and every time the ball went out of play, another one came back in instantly. If there was a bad pass or a bad role from one of his staff, he went berserk and it was embarrassing for them. His standards were so high. From the players, his medical team, he was on everything. His attention to detail was incredible and he changed the way I thought about football. The first session when he came in and at the end of it, the lads thought, 'Wow, that was a session.'

"Mentally and psychologically, he had us from Day 1. We bought into whatever he was going to deliver that day and he was the same when he came back. Having his presence there was enough. He had his eyes on everyone and when he speaks no one messes about or plays with a ball. You listen to him, he was the boss. I would give everything for him. I would leave that pitch in a coffin for him and every player felt the same."
