Arguably the best right-back in Chelsea's history, the old-fashioned defender thrived in the modern game.

Perhaps his best performance came when Chelsea were facing Napoli in the last 16 of the Champions League. A 3-1 first leg deficit was erased in one of the greatest nights at the Bridge with Ivanovic popping up in extra-time to slam home the winner.

3 Premier League, 3 FA Cup, 1 League cup, 1 Community Shield, 1 Champions League and 1 Europa League - the right-back won all that was possible.

Ivanovic will be fondly remembered in West London having played an integral role in the most successful period of the club's history, thus becoming a Chelsea legend.
