Former Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood has told John Terry he will not be going to a smaller club if he heads for Villa Park.

Speculation has been mounting about Terry joining Villa after he was pictured playing golf with manager Steve Bruce.

One of Bruce's predecessors, Sherwood told Sky Sports: "I think both would be married up very well.

"John's an excellent professional, not only in what he will bring on the pitch, but what he will bring to the dressing room.
