What do people think is the best assist for a Chelsea goal? Here's a couple to start the ball rolling:

 

Zola's chip for Poyet to volley against Sunderland in August 1999

 

Charlie Cooke's cross for Osgood's header against Leeds in the 1970 FA Cup final.

 

 

Juan Mata corner for Drogba header 19-05-12

Mata's corners v Bayern and Benfica.

Deco, Anelka, Lampard v Bolton in 2009 setting up Drogba.

Torres for Mata against Man Utd in February 2012.

To add to the above, all of which are worthy nominations, Frank's throughball to Ramires at the NouCamp springs to mind.

 

Joe Cole's throughball to Drogs in the CL (in Valencia?)

 

Frank's throughball v Man City - also to Drogs I think.

 

SWP's cross v Real Betis for Crespo- possibly the finest cross ever by anyone.

 

Vialli's cross for Zola v Vicenza

 

Sam Hutch's cross v Stoke for Frank's volley was another.

Was gonna mention Joeys for Drogba v Valencia, also loved the goal where Robben and Duff ripped a team apart in the area, think it might have been Norwich not long after they signed. Just bloody lovely.

Dat lampard pass.

Stanic setting up.... Stanic!

Mark Hughes assisting himself for the winning goal in the Cup Winners Cup semi-final at the Bridge in 98.

 

We were going out on the away goal and needed to win the game 3-1 (3-2 on aggregate) to get to the final having found ourselves 1-0 down from the 1st leg we let in an early second in the return match, after clawing ourselves back into the game thanks to a goal from Gus Poyet and a rare headed goal from Franco Zola (after a pretty good cross from Luca Vialli).

 

Ed De Goey pumped it long, Hughes wins the challenge in the air, spins his man, runs onto his on flick on and buries it emphatically at the far post taking us through to the final. 

 

Watch from 2:05

 

Lamps to Ramires vs Barca.

Bosingwa's to Torres.............champ lge semi final in a packed Nou Camp, last few mins of the game, tension everywhere......people on edge of sh*tting themselves

Bosman-----coolness personified....perfect

lol

If your allowed to add self assists, then Zola making Dicks look an absolute twat has to be the best.

Joe Cole for Drogba!!! That was just stunning!

 

 

Frank's throughball v Man City - also to Drogs I think.

 

Definitely my favourite, if it's the one your thinking of. Outside of the foot perfection. Pretty sure we won 6-0. Drogba hattrick.

Hazard pass to Mata at 3 point lane last season was sublime

Joe cole for Drogba at Valencia

Lampard for Drogba Man City home 

Torres' bicycle kick which hit the bar and rebounded of Frank's shins.

I lost my sh*t when it happened. There was Nando who couldn't buy a goal, goes for the spectacular...hits the woodwork and there's super Frank to shin the ball into an open net.

Pat Nevin v Sheff Wed in the League Cup replay at the Bridge. Genius.

Bosingwa's Cole's to Torres.............champ lge semi final in a packed Nou Camp, last few mins of the game, tension everywhere......people on edge of sh*tting themselves

Bosman-----coolness personified....perfect

That's the one.

Best pass I've ever seen:-

 

I loved this one, Lampard to Eideur.  Lamps with a cheeky wee look, and then gets it in as he's off balance and running out of time and room.  Plus it was against Leeds

 

Some worthy nominations here. Another that comes to mind is JT to Ashley Cole against Sunderland.

Juan Mata corner for Drogba header 19-05-12

This...

Hearing Neville say that if Chelsea are going to do something, here is their chance...

Kick is played by Mata, Drogba header...

And Gary Neville screaming, DDRROOOGGBBAAAA!!!

Clearly Drogba is a legend but while Mata may not have achieved a legendary status, he will always be Chelsea!!!

Remember this at a Chelsea pub (British Bulldog) here in Denver, CO and the place just erupted! What a fine day!

Apologies, it was Martin Tyler and the Neville orgasm afterward!

And let us not forget Torres for the hustle to win a corner! Some say money spent poorly but between winning the corner and who could forget the goal at Barca! Worth every penny!
