Cole more iconic than Robben, just check that unbelievable goal against ManU, mugged them to death in the box..

Here's the link.http://youtu.be/lc7ndSN8BgQ

I would add Duff, Mikel and Paulo to the icons.

 

Icons seems a bit high for them IMO.

Legends:

 

Lampard, Terry, Zola, Drogba, Osgood

I would have them over Ramires certainly and maybe even Mata. Anyway this is highly subjective of course.

Legends:

 

Lampard, Terry, Zola, Drogba, Osgood

 

add to that list Chopper and its about right.

Ian Hutchinson should be remembered. Hutch & Ossie what a pair.

Controversial opion but I wouldn't call Cech a legend. Not after seeing him in an Arse shirt.

Legends (top 20 in era order)

 

Roy Bentley - the First

 

Jimmy Greaves - the Greatest

 

Ron Harris - the Captain

 

Peter Bonetti - The Cat

 

Bobby Tambling - the Goal Scorer

 

Peter Osgood - The King

 

Charlie Cooke - the Dribbler

 

Kerry Dixon - the Striker

 

Pat Nevin - the Little Genius

 

Dennis Wise - the Menace

 

Gianfranco Zola - The Magician

 

Robbie Di Matteo - the CL Winner

 

Gianluca Vialli - the Versatile

 

Marcel Desailly - The Rock

 

John Terry - The Leader

 

Frank Lampard - the Record Breaker 

 

Petr Cech - The Incomparable

 

Didier Drogba - The Drog

 

Ashley Cole - the Controversial

 

Jose Mourinho - The Special One

Great list/titles Dorset.

Vialli but no Ruud?

Difficult choice between those two, admittedly, but during their time together at Chelsea the choice, for Ruud, was often no Vialli and that just swung it for me. It could easily have been the other way round and I assume, from your use of surname/christian name, it would have been for you.

Legends from the late 1960s and early 1970s would include

Ron Harris,

Peter Bonetti

Charlie Cooke

Eddie McCreadie

Dennis Wise is a legend for me.

11 years service, over 400 games.

Plus he was our leader at the time when we were 'reborn' under Hoddle, which was basically the catalyst for where we are now.

King Kerry Dixon.

Surely Carlo has to be a legend he was only with a short time sadly but the man fine our first and only real double.

Micky Droy and Ray Wilkins to the Legends,

Mark Hughes and Clive Walker to the Icons.

Doug Rougvie as a Cult Figure.

I'm obviously going to say it but Hoddle is a Chelsea icon, the man that started the revolution.

 

Ken Bates, Matthew Harding and Roman Abramovich on the non-footballing side also.

Whilst acknowledging his spell with us. Personally I've always thought of Hoddle as a Spurs man who came to us late in his career.

I would add the following who have not been mentioned so far:

 

• Gus Mears - founded the club. For that alone he must be included somewhere !
• Ted Drake - manager of our 1955 title winning side
• John Hollins - sterling midfield service in the late 60s and early 70s, and then again briefly in the 80s. #5 in the all-time appearance list (592)
• Steve Clarke - #8 in all the all-time appearance list (421) plus assistant to Jose for our 2nd and 3rd Top Tier titles

And how about our leading scorer in seasons 1919/20, 1920/21 and 1921/22 ?

 

The one and only Jack Cock.

 

 

Just as well we didn't have names on shirts at that time ...
