Ironically the only non-British player on the list, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink absolutely loved playing against Tottenham Hotspur. The Dutch forward joined the Blues in 2000 for then a club record fee of 15 million pounds.

The former Dutch international who had a rather vagabond career with 10 clubs in his 18-year career spent 4 seasons at the Blues making 177 appearances and scoring 88 goals for the Blue before moving onto join Middlesborough in 2004.

A 2-time Premier League Golden Boot winner, Hasselbaink loved playing against Tottenham Hotspur. The striker made a total of 16 appearances against the Lilywhites in his entire career and scoring 13 goals against them.

12 goals against Tottenham Hotspur in this fixture makes Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink the highest scorer player in the Chelsea v Tottenham London derby.
