Spending 8 years of his career at Stamford Bridge, Baldwin became one of Chelsea's most illustrious players in the late 60s and early 70s. Although he was often used to cover in attacking positions, he played as a midfielder for most of his career. In just 239 appearances for the club, he scored 92 goals, notably scoring on his debut against Manchester City.

Consistently picking up double digits in goals throughout his career with Chelsea, he inspired the club to win the European Cup Winners' Cup against Real Madrid and the FA Cup against Leeds United.

He helped the side to six trophies, including a UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, a UEFA Super Cup and two FA Cups. Voted Chelsea's player of the year twice, Wise was a competitive, brilliant goalscorer with excellent passing range.

He was usually embroiled in controversies, which left him often suspended and shown red cards. Still, Wise remained an inspirational player for the side. He led the midfield through one of Chelsea's most successful decades in football.
