Terry loves winding up Spurs and will no doubt give them their 'trophy' in Cup game

Even in retirement, the Chelsea legend has enjoyed coming face-to-face with the opposition and demonstrated this last season at White Hart Lane when Dean Smith's assistant at Aston Villa.

Spurs fans taunted Terry by singing their song about former captain Ledley King being better than him - only for him to turn around and hold up an imaginary trophy in their direction.

Terry, who won five titles during his illustrious time at Stamford Bridge where he faced Chelsea's bitter London rivals many times, confirmed the reports on Instagram after the game.

He posted a picture of the story to his Instagram with a series of trophies and a laughing face emoji.

While many would regard Terry's actions as a bit of banter, it might have proved to be another painful reminder to Spurs fans as to why their talisman Harry Kane was so keen to leave the club in the summer.

Kane informed the club of his desire in order to match his personal ambition to win trophies.

Manchester City wanted him, but the Premier League champions were put off by chairman Daniel Levy's asking price.

Tottenham have not won a trophy since beating Chelsea to the League Cup in 2008, with Terry denying them the chance to end their drought six years ago at Wembley.

The defender opened the scoring in front of Spurs fans in the 2-0 win.

Terry is now part of the staff at Chelsea and will no doubt be at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night where he will be hoping his beloved Blues break Tottenham hearts again in the League Cup, this time at the semi-final stage.
