"My kids love him," said Terry.
"It's a pleasure because when you finish and look back - and the guy's still going to be going strong - you've tested yourself against the best.
"And, quite clearly for me, he's the best ever. He's a great individual, a great person as well and a credit to the sport.
"For me, he's got everything. He is magical."
