10) Mikael Forssell – Finland
Finland have never made the headlines in international football, but Mikael Forssell certainly made headlines in Finland.
With 29 goals in 86 appearances, the former Blues star has a fantastic record considering the minnows he played for.
He spent a ridiculous seven years at Chelsea, despite being sent out on loan on five separate occasions. He made just 33 appearances during those seven years, and scored five goals for the club.
