Chelsea is a team with a lot of good players. No wonder many players want to come and play in this club. In the following article, we've rounded up the top five Chelsea legends of the 21st century, from the hard-hitting goalkeeper to the top scorer in the club's history.

Petr Cech

Petr Cech ended his playing career at the end of the 2018/19 season. He spent 11 seasons at Chelsea. During this period, he played in 333 matches in the Premier League.

Cech set a club record for the number of clean sheets. For this achievement, he was nicknamed "Mr Zero" by the fans. Cech also became a key player for the Blues in his first season with the team, conceding just 13 goals in 35 Premier League games. In 2006, he almost died after a hard collision with Stephen Hunt, but recovered from a skull fracture, put on a protective helmet and returned to the field. 

In the 2011/12 Champions League final, he saved two penalty kicks per game and helped Chelsea win the trophy - the only one in the history of the club.

At Chelsea, Cech won four league titles, two of them in a row (seasons 2004/05 and 2005/06). In addition, Cech won the Champions League and Europa League, four Cups and two FA Super Cups, three League Cups. 

Cech was also frequently featured on online betting sites such as 22Bet. Punters placed bets on him and the popularity of Cech is visible nowadays.

Ashley Cole 

Ashley Cole spent eight seasons at Chelsea from 2006 to 2014. During this period, he played in 229 Premier League matches.

He was one of the best left-backs in the world. He formed the backbone of the team along with his well-known partners: Cech, Drogba, Terry, and Lampard. He was recognized as the best player of the 2009/2010 season according to the PFA. 

Cole played in two Champions League finals with Chelsea. He was distinguished by his high speed and brilliant technique.

With Chelsea, Cole won one league title, four FA Cups, one English Super Cup, and one League Cup trophy each. He also won the Champions League and the Europa League once with the Blues.

John Terry

In the last match for the club, Terry left the field in the 26th minute. 26 is the number under which Terry played at Chelsea. From 1998 to 2017 Terry played in 489 matches in the Premier League.

He is one of the club's most controversial players and a five-time English champion with the Blues. At the age of 20, he became the captain of Chelsea and wore the armband for 575 matches, which is a club record. While playing at Chelsea, he reached the level of one of the best defenders in English football. He had an excellent capacity for work and, according to Carlo Ancelotti, was born with a captain's armband. 

He was one of the leaders of the team and reached the Champions League final twice. Terry's mistake robbed Chelsea of their 2008 Champions League final victory when John slipped on the wet pitch while taking the series-deciding penalty. He became the third player in the history of the team in terms of the number of matches played for it - 717.

As part of Chelsea, Terry won five league titles, five Cups, and two FA Super Cups. Also with the Blues, Terry once won the Champions League and Europa League trophies.

Didier Drogba

In total, Drogba spent nine incomplete seasons at Chelsea. He played in 254 matches of the English Premier League.

He became the top scorer among Chelsea legionnaires in the history of the club (164 goals for the team) and the most expensive Ivorian player in history. In his debut season for Chelsea, he became the club's third top scorer in the league with 10 goals and helped the Blues win their first Premier League title in 50 years. 

He became famous for often scoring in tournament finals. In the 2011/12 Champions League final, Drogba first equalized by scoring the only goal for the Blues and then scored the decisive penalty bringing Chelsea victory. He was the first African player to reach 100 goals in the Premier League.

Frank Lampard

From 2001 to 2014 Lampard played 429 matches in the Premier League. He became one of the strongest midfielders in England and the world. He is the club's all-time leading scorer with 211 goals in all competitions. In the very first season, he established himself in the first team of the blues and scored 7 goals in 53 games. 

The fast-paced, masterful second-tempo attacker Lampard has been the Blues' Premier League Player of the Month four times and the Football Association's Player of the Year twice. Three times he was recognized as the best assistant in the Premier League.
