Terry said: "Being a leader is something you're born with. You can't coach it into people. I had great examples to learn from like Dennis Wise and Marcel Desailly but you can't teach it to anybody," The Sun quoted Terry, as saying.
"Leading the side out at a big stadium on a big occasion, those are the things I dreamed about as a kid. I'll be very proud.u00a0 To be in that position is fantastic for me but the main thing is to get the three points and be top of the group," he added.

Terry, 30, has a superb record as England skipper - losing twice in 19 competitive games ahead of today's Euro 2012 qualifier at the Millennium Stadium.
He said: "I'd like to think I bring a lot to the dressing room before games, at half-time and on the training field. Everyone has to show passion and that's one of my strengths. This will be a tough game and we must be ready for the battle."
"The players realize the importance of it and we're determined to get a result which is our main priority.u00a0 On a personal note, I'm delighted with the manager's decision. It was important that we discussed it on Monday," Terry said.
