Chelsea captain John Terry was made to warm up toilets seats early in his career for then-skipper Dennis Wise . Terry revealed his duties as a young player included cleaning Wise 's boots and making hot drinks for senior players at Chelsea 's old Harlington training ground - a far cry from the facilities the club 's youngsters enjoy at their world-class Cobham base now . But easily the strangest thing that Terry did to impress was make sure the likes of Wise , Kevin Hitchcock and Michael Duberry did not have to sit on cold toilet seats . John Terry may be Chelsea captain now , but when Dennis Wise was skipper and Terry was a junior player at the club , his duties included warming toilet seats for senior players , making drinks and cleaning boots . John Terry ( left ) warmed up toilet seats for Dennis Wise and his senior Chelsea team-mates as a young player and would receive £25 from Wise every time the former captain scored while wearing boots cleaned by Terry . Terry grew from a young player to a senior member of the side during training sessions at Harlington . ' I 'd do anything for them , ' Terry said . ' I 'd make their teas and coffees , even silly things like sit on the toilet to make the seat warm for them in the cold winter days at the training ground . It 's bizarre when you think about it but that was part of growing up . ' Terry , now earning around £150,000-a-week as one of Chelsea 's key players , used to take a tip of £25 from Wise whenever the feisty midfielder scored with the boots Terry had cleaned . ' I used to clean his boots and he wanted them perfect so I took really good care of them , ' Terry told Chelsea Pitch Owners . 'Every now and then he gave me a little bonus . Every time he scored I was on £25 , which was half my wages at the time ! I used to be praying we 'd get a penalty or he 'd score . ' Jon Harley , Wise and Terry ( L-R ) pose in Chelsea kit ahead of an Umbro launch back in 2001 . Wise 's boots were cleaned by Terry and he used to give his eventual successor as captain a £25 tip . But Terry could not just rely on his toilet-warming skills to get him noticed by the senior players . ' I would go in and win tackles against first team players , and I remember at the time people were going , “ Ooh , you can ’ t do that '' , ' he said . 'Sometimes , the foreign guys especially , didn ’ t like it . Dan Petrescu , once , he got me round the throat , and said “ What do you think you ’ re doing ? ! ” . 'The first one over , to back me up , was Wisey : “ If you ’ ve got something to say , you say it to me , not the younger players. ” Me and Dan laugh about it now . ' Terry also revealed how current manager Jose Mourinho prevents complacency from creeping in . 'Sometimes you 're losing a game at half-time , which does n't happen often at this club , and you expect to come in and get a rollicking , ' Terry said . 'But you come in and the manager is calm , collected , the complete opposite . He 's like , `` Listen , we 're going to win the game . We 're going to get an early goal '' and he talks you through it . ' While Mourinho 's calmer side has been used to get his team through difficult periods , such as when they were drawing 2-2 with Hull City at half-time on Sunday after taking an early two-goal lead , he can also operate at the other end of the scale . 'Other times you 'll be winning 2-0 or 3-0 and you 'll come in happy at half-time and he 'll go ballistic . 'Tables will go over , bottles of water will go flying . You think `` where 's that come from ? '' 'But you go out for the second half and win the game 5-0 rather than scraping through 3-1 , 3-2 . 'He knows when players take their foot off the gas . He can sense something before the game . He just gets a feel for everyone and every single game . And I look at that and think no one else has got that that I ’ ve experienced . ' Terry says Dan Petrescu was not pleased with the way Terry went around tackling the seniors in training . Terry is now Chelsea 's longest-serving player but youngsters do not have to do what he used to do . The Chelsea captain has led his side to the top of the Barclays Premier League this season .
