5 players you didn't know played for Chelsea 

#3 Scott Parker (2004-2005)

Scott Parker represented Chelsea in his early playing days

Scott Parker made a name for himself first with West Ham, where as captain, he was named the FWA Player of the Year and nominated for the PFA Player of the Year in 2011 for his performances in midfield (despite West Ham's relegation).

That summer, he signed for Tottenham and continued his upward trajectory, instantly becoming a fan favourite, with his ball-winning abilities as a holding midfielder acting as the springboard for his forward-thinking teammates like Luka Modric, Gareth Bale, Aaron Lennon, and Rafael Van der Vaart to wreck havoc.

He was named the England Player of the Year in 2011 and named into the PFA Team of the Year in 2012 before injuries ultimately derailed his career.

However, before hitting the limelight in East and North London, Parker had shown promise at a young age and became the first player to represent clubs from East, West, North, and South London in the Premier League, having starred for Charlton and Chelsea in the past.

He completed a move to Stamford Bridge in January 2004 but could not get playing time due to the presence of top performers in midfield like Frank Lampard, Tiago Mendes, and Claude Makelele, before he was sold to Newcastle United in July 2005 having made just 15 Premier League appearances in 18 months.
