Most notable players

John Terry and Frank Lampard are the two most famous players for Chelsea. The layers were legends from the last decade that make the list. Lampard broke the record for most consecutive games for Chelsea but then he got sick shortly afterward.

It’s not a surprise John Terry is so high up in third considering he was at the club for almost 20 years. John Terry is also one of Chelsea’s best ever defenders.

Legends

legends such as Ron “Chopper” Harris and Dennis Wise are heroes at Stamford Bridge along with Peter Bonetti. Meanwhile, Didier Drogba and Branislav Ivanovic were very close to making the top 10 but fall just out of it. With 381 and 377 appearances respectively. Additionally, another legend, Peter Osgood, was 14th with 380 appearances.

However, current Chelsea FC star Eden Hazard is only 39th on the list. Hazard has made 288 appearances for the club.
