Arguably the most talented player we`ve ever had, for 2 seasons he was up there as one of the worlds best players. Real shame he has had such a bad few years with injuries since he left us.

Only 32, which is young these days.  But he never liked training or took training that seriously - which in an odd way, makes me like him more.  i doubt he will be trying to become a coach or a manager anywhere.

What an unbelievable talent, one of my favourite Chelsea players of all time. Hope he enjoys his retirement it's just a shame it came so early.

Wonder if he will look back with regret at not going to Real sooner and having his best days there.

A player who achieved so much, yet still will largely be remembered as "what if?"

 

He was simply incredible for us. An absolute privilege to have watched him play. Enjoy your retirement,  Eden!

He'd never be loved there the way we cherished him. Even now all he talks about is Chelsea. 

 

In my top three players I've watched in a Chelsea shirt. Unbelievably talented and I feel lucky to have seen him play live.

Love the guy, All the best for the future!

Best wishes Eden for the future, you gave each of us an enormous amount of pleasure, thank you. A true great Blue!

 

 

He’s so good he has three threads running on him, best wishes Eden , a truly great Blue.

He retired when he left for Madrid. 
Thanks for the memories.

Sad news really. So much talent. Pace was an asset to him but losing it should not have been a career ender. 

Should have been one of those players able to play on in to his late 30s and still create magic through his skill and football intelligence. Like Franco did.

Unfortunately having lumps kicked out of him, injuries and, imo, just not having that burning hunger for the game anymore, sees a brilliant career cut short.

 

Thanks for the many wonderful moments Eden, happy retirement. 

With his move to Madrid I hoped the whole world would finally be able to recognize he was right up there with Messi and Ronaldo at the peak of his powers, as he would never really get that acknowledgement playing for mighty hated Chelsea.

Sadly, it wasn't to be, but we can only cherish all those moments with him in the squad, even getting the chance to sign him up was a major deal back then and I was thrilled we were able to pull it off, which makes the 2012 CL victory an even happier memory. 

We all love you Eden, looking forward to you enjoying retirement and signing up to the Shed End! 

 

Easily the most talented player I’ve ever seen at Chelsea. Truly one of the greatest.

His name will be talked about for decades just like Zola. One of the greatest to ever wear the shirt, so sad it had to end like this.

Thank you for the memories.
 

Up there with Zola as one of the greatest players I’ve seen.

Hazard was all about instinct.  He didn't like training, was never concerned about preparing or worrying or even thinking about the opposition. He hated training. He was never going to have a long career. He likes being with his kids and enjoying family life.  He never should have gone to Real Madrid, they made him train and he got injured. Instinct and amazing talent, he should have just stuck with that.

 

 

 

Goal contribution every 1.7 matches, which is pretty damning considering he had Torres, Morata, and Higuain to play with. 

A magic player - and in my top 5 favourites. King franco still 1, SFL 2, and then JT, cech, drogs, dixon, wisey and Eden fighting out the other 3 places (I know that doesn't fit into 3 places - but they move around - eden is usually there though!)

I loved Eden so much, that I named my first born after him (middle name is eden).

 

 

As I've no doubt said countless times on this Forum, Eden Hazard became my favourite ever footballer and we were so lucky to have him at his peak. He was capable of things others can only dream of. Without doubt the most talented player I have ever seen play for CFC. And he played the game the way it should be - with humour and a smile, so even rival fans couldn't hate him but just watch and admire.

At times he almost single handedly won us games and carried us over the line and he scored three of the most memorable individual goals I have ever seen.

Thanks for everything Eden Hazard. Whatever you were paid, you were worth every penny. Enjoy your retirement.

 

Just a taste of what the wee man could do:

Simply an amazing player.

Best player I have witnessed play in a Chelsea shirt. Was a genius. So many wonderful moments. Often is asked what is his best Chelsea goal. My favourite was his second goal in the hattrick he got against Newcastle. What a goal. Goes a bit under the radar but that is as good as a goal you will get. The whole hattrick was phenomenal. The penalty which completed his hattrick was so cooly taken in that slow motion penalty style he loved doing.

1:23 is his second goal and my favourite one. So many joyful moments.
