Damien Duff

The Irish winger was a menace for defenders. Damien Duff played 30 matches (2 as a sub) for Chelsea in the 2004-05 season and became the go-to winger for Mourinho after Robben got injured. His long and illustrious 19-year playing career included 54 goals in 392 appearances in the Premier League. The 39-year-old won a League Cup with Blackburn Rovers, one League Cup and two Premier League trophies with Chelsea.

After leaving The Blues in 2006, he was with Newcastle United from 2006–2009, with Fulham from 2009–2014. Finally, Damien decided to hang his boots on 21 December 2015 when he was playing for his native Ireland's top division club Shamrock Rovers.

He is also a legend for the national team as he has 8 goals in over 100 appearances for the Republic of Ireland. Upon retiring, Duff was a match analyst on Irish television. He became the first team coach of Shamrock Rovers to help strikers of the club improve their performance on the pitch.

2 Premier League titles, one Football League Cup, and one FA Community shield - these are the honours Duff managed to achieve with Chelsea.
