Chelsea fans cherish the parade of goalscoring legends who have worn the famous blue kit at Stamford Bridge.
These icons span generations, from Jimmy Greaves's youthful exploits and Kerry Dixon's 1980s grit to Frank Lampard's midfield heroics, Didier Drogba's towering presence, and Eden Hazard's dazzling flair.
Lampard sits atop the Blues' all-time scorers list. His extraordinary haul is a testament to his status among the Premier League's finest midfielders and sets a high bar for future challengers.
Drogba, his perfect foil, emerged as one of English football's most intimidating strikers, overcoming early hurdles to deliver in the clutch for titles.
Hazard, despite later struggles at Real Madrid, captivated fans worldwide during his Chelsea peak in the mid-to-late 2010s. As the heartbeat of the attack, his dribbling wizardry and sharp finishing secured his place among the club's elite.
These icons, alongside others like Peter Osgood and Roy Bentley, trace Chelsea's evolution from First Division battlers to European conquerors.
