Dwmh Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 ^ Good, Pleased for him. And 700 games (748 according to wiki) is a long career by any standards. Not many as sub i suspect till RM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post xceleryx Posted October 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2023 Look, probably the right decision in the end. A great career, albeit arguably one that could've also been greater. Disappointing to see it end on such a note, but glad we got to experience the best Hazard had to offer. All the best in retirement, Eden. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backbiter Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 He knew he couldn't ever get back to the level he wanted, and that his body had had enough of the constant injuries. A wise decision, but still very sad. Fantastic career. A Chelsea legend of the first order. An absolute joy to watch. A unique talent, genuinely underrated by most football fans. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneB Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 'That is phenomenal!'| Is this Eden Hazard’s greatest ever goal? | Video | Watch TV Show | Sky Sports I think he deserves his own thread even though he is no longer with us. A simply outstanding player at his peak who could win matches on his own, and often did. Happy retirement Eden, one of our greatest ever and one of the PL's greatest ever players. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lump Of Celery Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Think it is this one Jane My personal faves are the goal against Liverpool, and of course the spuds in battle of the bridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwmh Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 @Lump Of Celery The very last second of the Spurs goal clip makes me feel good. Not that a 70 point team was ever in contention for the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTG Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 It should be obligatory moving forward to show his goal against the spuds which ended their PL title hopes every home game. Not sure Poch would agree 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneB Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 @Lump Of Celery Thank you SO much. I am hopeless at anything that gets too technical although I'm sure it's kids' play to most on here. Those clips give me goosebumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Blood Is Blue Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 A Chelsea legend, no doubt. Arguably the most talented player we've ever had at the club and would often win us matches on his own. I hope he enjoys retirement and I can't wait to watch him appear in a Chelsea legends match at Stamford Bridge! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Just watched his greatest Premiership goals compilation on Sky Sports…WOW! I’d forgotten just how quick his feet were! He was a game changer for us and it was a privilege to watch him play in the Chelsea shirt, sometimes worth the price of a ticket alone. Good luck for the future Eden, hope to see you again back at The Bridge in a charity game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ham Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I used to say that Zola was the best player I saw in a Chelsea shirt. Sorry Franco but I'm going to have to revise that. Unlike Franco, we had the very best years of Eden. Wonderful player and a top bloke too. 💙 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 The Secret Scout has posted a brilliant 10 minute clip on Twitter. I almost forgot how good his decision making was. It was like he never picked the wrong option. And the amount he put on a plate for others he must have been a dream to play with. So unselfish and so effortless. We are blessed to have had him in Chelsea blue 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 My type of footballer. I don't think it will ever get better for me on a personal level. I very much doubt we'll see anybody that gifted in a Chelsea shirt ever again. A real Chelsea legend and one of the very best players of his generation.

blueandproud Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 One of the finest players ever to pull on the famous blue shirt. We can certainly do with someone like Eden in our team right now, he's one player I would gladly pay to watch. All the best Eden, a proper Chelsea legend.

Mark Kelly Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Quite simply a wonderful footballer, one who could magic a goal out of thin air and there really aren't many of those that come along in a lifetime. And as for the video where he laughs at Ivanovic speaking English, it's comedy gold. Well done Eden and thank you so much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
