Robben writes a letter to himself at 16

Strange exercise maybe but he writes some very flattering stuff about the club and our first Mourinho side - specifically about how influential Terry was as captain

Extract about his time at Chelsea:

'It'll only be two years, but Chelsea will be an important step for you. For your manager, for dealing with injuries - but, also, that team will be something special. I give credit to Jose on this, he knows how to create and build a team. And this team? Well, it was a good one.

Not just because you had players like Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba and Petr Cech and John Terry on the pitch.

A lot of the guys who have been at the club for a while will look out for you, but there will be no one more important than John Terry.

What can a Dutch winger learn from an English center back? Everything.

Everyone on that team was thinking about each other. Everyone was thinking about the club. The atmosphere during that time… it was amazing. A lot of the guys who have been at the club for a while will look out for you, but there will be no one more important - not only for you, but for everyone - than John Terry.

The most important thing though, is what it takes to be a captain and a leader at a club. He'll be someone you can talk to, whether about football or anything else. He'll be someone who gives advice, who encourages you. Learn as much from him as you can. How he gives everything for the club. How he gives everything for the team - from the first to the last minute. Out there, he's taking care of every team member. And he does the same off the pitch as well.

I'm not sure you'll know it then, just how much John influenced you. So really take in those moments with him. You won't play with anyone quite like him again.'
