Legend: Chelsea fans voted Gianfranco Zola as their best ever player. The diminutive genius helped revive his side's fortunes before anyone had even heard of Roman Abramovich on the King's Road.
Terrace hero: Captain Fantastic John Terry. With all the big money signing's of recent times, Terry's rise through the Chelsea ranks ensures the supporters still have one of their own to lead the team.
Finest hour: Jose Mourinho's arrival at Stamford Bridge resulted in Chelsea ending their 50-year wait for the league title. Avram Grant could claim leading Chelsea to their first ever Champions League final is also up there.
Lowest ebb: The expensive rebuilding of the East Stand in the 1970's almost bankrupt the club. It ultimately forced the sale of the Stamford Bridge free-hold to property developers and saw Chelsea come perilously close to losing their home.
