Jonathan Kodjia is the man to take home the silver, with local lad Jack Grealish in third on seven per cent of all shirt pre-ordered.
The news is a huge sign that Villa fans are thrilled to have Terry – a 78-cap England international and five-time Premier League champion – on board.
JT spent his entire career at Chelsea, after making his debut in the 1998-99 season, going on to play 492 times in the Premier League, 717 times in all competitions.
However, he finally moved on to a new home as he linked up with the Midlands side for the 2017-18 season.
Terry recently turned out in the 0-0 draw away to Walsall and is expected to take to the field for upcoming game against Arminia Bielefield.
Villa were set to play Vitesse Arnhem – before the Dutch side called off the game due to issues with German football authorities.

Before all that though, they've got the Cup of Traditions to compete in - a mini-competition at Schauinsland Reisen Arena, in Duisburg, Germany.
The Championship side will play two 45-minute matches against other clubs in the competition - which could be La Liga side Malaga or even Bundesliga outfit Hertha Berlin.
