Terry posted that he was mistaken about when he played his last game for the Blues

Chelsea legend John Terry appeared to have confused his last match date in an Instagram post – confusing fans.

The front-back uploaded multiple photos of his last game at the Blues on Thursday morning with the caption: "On this day of 2018, I played my last game for @chelseafc,"

But fans were quick to point out that their former captain and leader had misled the time of his last appearance for Chelsea.

One fan wrote: "Wasn't the last game of 2017 in April?" "The last match was on May 21, wasn't it?" [sic] '

In fact, after a 22-year career for the Blues, Terry did bid farewell to Chelsea on 21 May 2017.

The Premier League champions ended the season with a 5-1 win over Sunderland at Stamford Bridge.

The former centre-back was replaced in the 26th minute and was paraded off by his teammates. Speaking on the pitch after the game, he thanked supporters, his team-mates, head coach Antonio Conte and boss Romain Abramovic.

The 40-year-old appears to have confused this period with the date of his retirement, which was on October 7, 2018.

Behind the curtain on a brilliant career for the Blues, Terry joined Aston Villa in 2017-18 and hung up his boots a few months after leaving the club.
