Eden Hazard
Hazard was one of the most exciting players of his generation.
Chelsea won the race to sign the talented attacking midfielder from Lille in the summer of 2012, and it proved to be a match made in heaven.
The Belgian was arguably the most feared winger in his prime, possessing silky skills and a low gravity that enabled him to slalom through defences at ease.
A key pillar in Chelsea's team, Hazard won every domestic trophy available during his seven years at the club, including two Premier League titles.
He was named the competition's Player of the Season in 2014/15, while in 2018/19 he won the Playmaker award for setting up the most goals. He also won two Goal of the Month awards.
Hazard left for Real Madrid in 2019 and after a number of injury problems announced his retirement at the age of 32 in October 2023.
