#4 John Terry
The Englishman has served Chelsea for 19 years. No presently active player in the top 5 leagues has served a club for longer than that duration. To further underline his love for the club, the man waved off multiple offers from the Premier League to join Aston Villa, stating that facing Chelsea would’ve been ‘too much’.
Yet, Terry wasn’t exactly Mr. Popular in the Premier League. He burnt some Bridges off the field (no puns intended), was embroiled in a racial abuse scandal, and who can forget the full kit celebration post the Champions League final he never played.
But nothing changes the fact that he’s the club’s most successful captain ever. And if you ever doubt his legendary status at Chelsea, simply watch his farewell speech at the Bridge. The overwhelming emotion is one that only a loyal leader can evoke.
