Some Chelsea players are lucky enough to create a real connection with the clubs supporters during their spell at the club.
Many fans will always hold a special place in their hearts for a lot of former players.
One Chelsea player who is always fondly thought of since he left Stamford Bridge, is midfielder John Obi Mikel.
Blues fans loved watching him play, and he is often now talked about as being a very under rated player during his time at the club.
The Nigerian international is still playing football at the age of 33, and he is officially back in English football!
Championship side Stoke City confirmed him as their fourth signing of the summer yesterday.

He did spend some time at Middlesbrough last season before moving to Turkey with Trabzonspor.
But the man that made over 250 appearances for Chelsea during his 11 years at the club, will be a welcome return to English football.
