Absolute legends

Ngolo and Azpi – thanks guys! Two absolute legends for Chelsea.

Ngolo brought his incredible energy, brainpower and skills to our midfield as we hauled in major silverware for 6 years.

And Azpi was the one who took up the inspiration of the Chelsea Warriors – Lamps/JT/Cech/Cole/Drogs. Azpi totally got it – he took it on himself to pass on that mindset to all his team-mates, young and old.
He was our last Warrior.

So thank you guys. Absolute legends.

Azpi won everything with us and was excellent for most of it as well as being a top professional. I have no problem with him being recognised as one of Chelsea's best ever in his position.

Most likely the league. he gets downplayed due to his last few years but I remember Carragher always waxing lyrical about how good he was defensively.

He is good and a legend but the problem is when new legends come along people can forget older ones, even recent older ones like Paulo Ferreira, Dan Petrescu, Albert Ferrer, Steve Clarke and Ivanovich, who has been mentioned I believe. It's hard to pick one out of that list, o ly one can compare length of service wise but I'd be hard pushed on other factors, even things won.

Dan will forever be my favourite. Ferreira I could not stand.

Maybe you could have a statue of Azpi next to your one of Roman?
