DC: Marcel Desailly

A forgotten great who left just before Chelsea started to dominate under Roman Abramovich and Jose Mourinho, Marcel Desailly was a superb defender for the club.

DC: Ricardo Carvalho

One of Mourinho’s best signings, Portuguese centre-back Ricardo Carvalho was a top class partner for John Terry for many years.

MC: Claude Makelele

An underrated great of the game, Claude Makelele was a crucial performer for Chelsea when he joined the club from Real Madrid.

MC: Michael Essien

Another great find by Chelsea, Michael Essien proved a superb signing from Lyon and became one of the finest all-action midfielders in England.
