Dream Teams: Chelsea
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Chelsea are safe in the knowledge that two of their current crop have been selected in the Blues' Dream Team.
Captain John Terry and midfielder Frank Lampard are the current players who make it into a side low on silverware but high on flamboyant talent; but team-mates Peter Cech, Michael Essien, Joe Cole and Didier Drogba can count themselves unlucky not to feature.

Looking further back than Drogba's goal-scoring era, Chelsea's history of attacking panache also means there is no place in the starting XI for Kerry Dixon or Ian Hutchinson.
Others unfortunate to miss out include Eric Parsons and the mercurial Frank Blunstone, who both starred on the flanks as Chelsea won their first top-flight title in 1955.
Another to have to settle for a place on the bench is midfielder Alan Hudson but who would make it into your all-time Chelsea XI? Join in the debate below.
