#2 Carlo Cudicini
Carlo Cudicini is that guy who majority of noveau Blues will have just heard about him, just a bit from here and a bit from there. In true sense he was their silent hero. He was never ever in the league of superstars or for that matter he was not even considered a star at Chelsea post the signing of Petr Cech. But no one can forget his contribution to Chelsea, where he spent his best years as a professional player for almost a decade.
Cudicini broke through in the Chelsea side in 1999-2000 season but he rose to fame and carved a niche for himself in 2001 season where he was voted Chelsea’s Player of the year and a couple of seasons later was voted Premier League keeper of the year by fans at ITV. Despite him being an accomplished player he was always those guys who were miles away from the gaze of spotlight.
In many sense he was an antithesis of Petr Cech who eventually replaced him in 2004-05 season. He was very much marginalized in the Jose Mourinho era but always was the vital cog in the team which was undergoing a transformation of epic proportions.
