Having launched our latest CSR Report this week, John Terry is looking forward to taking on Tottenham at the Bridge on Sunday.

The inspirational captain was at Cobham with team-mates, children and representatives from our national charity CLIC Sargent to launch the 2006/7 Report, a season in which we raised £4.39 million for good causes.

It was a rare opportunity for Terry and his team-mates to receive some recognition for the work they do away from the field. He feels the figures back up the club's commitment to its charities.

'Yes, and so many people have benefited financially from getting the players along to the appearances and meeting us, giving them a big boost,' the 27-year-old said.

'Four years ago we needed to give more back and as a football club we had a good look at that and we're now doing that collectively which is great for the football club and everybody else.'

'The CLIC Sargent events have been really special, when they come to the training ground or we go out to meet them. When we're around kids, especially those who aren't well, it really touches the players' hearts and the players give a lot of our time and effort into those departments.'

The defender, re-named England captain last week, is pleased that the club now does more to aid its former players who have fallen on hard times, through the Past Players Trust.

'I think the game has moved on an awful lot and financially things are a lot better for the players now. Back in the day players didn't have the advice we get now and the people there to help us invest our money wisely,' he reasoned.

'It's great we can do that and give something back to them and one day it might be one of us in that position. We never know.'

For now though Terry's Chelsea career remains very much in the present, and the next challenge facing him is that of Tottenham on Sunday, a game he fully understands the importance of.

'We have to concentrate on our own game, Tottenham are a tough side, they've had two defeats and will be aiming to come for a London derby to upset the fans and players but hopefully we'll be okay,' he said.

'Growing up as a Londoner with London derbies is what it's all about and hopefully we can pick up three points for the Chelsea fans.'

Terry insisted that revenge after last season's Carling Cup defeat is not on the agenda.

'The Carling Cup is all forgotten about now, the Champions League, last season, it does stick in your mind but we have to forget about it because this year can be a very good year for us,' he explained.

'Man United have dropped points already, and have a tough game at Liverpool, and then the following week they come to Stamford Bridge.'
