John Terry won 17 trophies in a 19-year playing career with Chelsea
When Colchester United acknowledged on Monday that the club is in "detailed discussions" about a possible sale to consortium of investors, they declined to name any of the potential buyers.
But BBC Sport understands that reports linking former England and Chelsea captain John Terry to the group are accurate.
The U's have been up for sale since last year, and having had two other takeover attempts fail in that time, fans are anxious for a deal to be done before the summer transfer window.
So why would a potential deal appeal to both the club and Terry, and why are so many high-profile former footballers investing in teams?
