A great number of football legends wore the Chelsea blue and plied their trade at the famous Stamford Bridge football ground. Chelsea are now one of the most successful teams in the English Premier League. The club was bought by Russian millionaire Roman Abramovich in 2003 which has led to an influx of great international stars. But who are the fans all time favourites? Here are a few suggestions.
Peter Osgood. 380 First team appearances - 150 goals
Peter Osgood had two spells for the club - 1964 - 74 and 1978 - 79. He played a total of 635 times for Chelsea and is cosidered a legend at the club. He scored a header goal in the 1970 FA cup final replay.
Ron Harris. 795 appearances - 14 goals
Known as 'Chopper' Harris, the hard man defender was an integral part of the team during the sixties and seventies. Feared by strikers throughout the land.
Frank Lampard - Still playing for Chelsea
Frank Lampard forged his reputation as the best midfielder in England through consistently strong displays in a Chelsea shirt. Also a prolific goal scorer, Lampard usually nets about 20 per season.
Gianfranco Zola - 312 total appearances - 80 goals
A firm favourite with the fans. the small but perfectly formed Zola was instrumental in winning big games at the Bridge. An odds on favourite to manage the Blues one day.
Didier Drogba - Still playing for Chelsea
Perhaps not a true blue legend and not always a favourite with the fans. Drogba's goal tally put him up there with the best.
