Speaking to  the TheFA.com Grip said: "John Terry is a leader.  He's captain at Chelsea and is still very young."

And the Swede also says that the experience Terry has gained in the last two years has helped him become an even more accomplished player.

"He has been a regular in Chelsea's team and has played a lot of international games. That will improve you.

"To  play and train with great players, good strikers, that improves you.  You have to be on your toes to compete in training and to take a place in the team."

The Chelsea defender's style has been likened to his boyhood hero Tony Adams.

"He's probably better on the ball than Tony Adams," says Tord, "but as a leader he's the same type of player.

"He can one day be captain of England."
