Chelsea all time top scorers: Frank Lampard tops the list

Chelsea are one of the most successful English clubs in the 21st century and have produced several deadly goal-scorers in their history.

The two-time Champions League winners have had the likes of Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba and Eden Hazard in their ranks among many other illustrious names.

But who were the greatest goal scorers to have donned the distinguished blue jersey?

Lampard is the leader of the Chelsea goalscoring charts, having found the back of the net 211 times during his 648 appearances for the club. Playing as a midfielder, he bagged the Chelsea player of the year award three times, while also winning the 2008 UEFA Midfielder of the Year award.

The second player on the illustrious list is another England international in Bobby Tambling. The striker was Chelsea's leading attacker for five seasons in the 1960s and was a deadly player in front of goal. He once scored five goals in a 6-2 win against Aston Villa, which is still a record for the most goals scored in a match by a Blues player.

Kerry Dixon is third on Chelsea’s all-time top-scorers list. Dixon had an amazing club career, winning the second division twice and featuring for the Blues 420 times, scoring 193 goals.

Fan favourite Didier Drogba occupies fourth place with 164 goals and it will be his strike in the Champions League final in 2012 that will not be easily forgotten.

Hazard is another player on the list who remains in the hearts of Chelsea’s fans. The Belgium international eventually left Stamford Bridge to join Real Madrid for a whopping amount of €150 million, but before that he was considered one of the greatest players to have grazed the Stamford Bridge pitch. Hazard scored 110 goals for Chelsea and was a deadly attacker in front of goal. His brilliant goal against Tottenham Hotspur is still considered one of the greatest Premier League goals.

John Terry was another Chelsea captain who - perhaps somewhat surprisingly - features on this illustrious list. The central defender amassed 67 goals for the club while also winning the UEFA Defender of the Year Award in 2005, 2008, and 2009. The Chelsea legend also captured the 2005 PFA Player of the Year before hanging up his boots in the summer of 2018.
