#3 Didier Drogba
"Didier Drogba, tra lala,
Didier Drogba, traaa lalala,
Didier Drogba, tra lala,
Didier Drogba, traaa lalala.."
A cult hero, a stellar striker, Drogba was probably the best ever that has played for the Blues at Stamford Bridge.
He was signed by the club's most successful manager in their history, Jose Mourinho for an eye-opening £24 million from French side Marseille in 2004. Didier Drogba went on to lead the front line for Chelsea for the next eight years, a period that some consider to be the most successful in their history.
With all the big names in Europe at that time, I said Drogba. ‘Who is he? Where's he playing?' [I said] 'Mr Abramovich—pay. Pay, and don't speak." - Jose Mourinho
Four Premier League wins, a UEFA Champions League win, four F.A. Cup triumphs to his name and three English League Cups marked his two spells at the club.
#2 John Terry
"Double, Double, Double,
John Terry has won the Double,
And the sh*t from the Lane,
Have won f*ck all again,
As John Terry has won the Double..."
An elite captain, a serial winner, and an inspirational figure for the club. John Terry is one of the most decorated players in English football and the only one to lift five Premier League titles during his time at the club.
Someone who had a career that has gone on to define a generation of defenders in the 'Chelsea era' of the Premier League, Terry played in over 717 competitive matches in over 19 years with the club.
#1 Frank Lampard
Frank Lampard, OBE. The greatest Chelsea player of all time. Period.
Lampard played for 13 years at the Bridge, performing miracles after miracles from midfield for Chelsea. With 211 goals for the club, Frank Lampard is the highest goalscorer in the club's history, with all 211 goals as a midfielder.
Lampard is a three-time champion of the English Premier League, winner of the UEFA Champions League, a four-time English F.A. Cup winner and a UEFA Europa League winner. He also won two League Cups to boot.
This is a record not many have been able to replicate. His stature as the greatest ever Chelsea player will take some beating.
