CRESPO NO LONGER A BLUE
Posted on: Thu 03 Jul 2008After his contract expired this week, Hernan Crespo is no longer a Chelsea player.
The Argentine forward had been on loan with Inter Milan for the past two seasons, after playing an important role in our 2005/6 Premier League success.
Crespo, who turns 33 this week, signed for the club in the summer of 2003 when Roman Abramovich took control.
In 19 league games that season, Crespo scored 10 goals, with two more coming in Champions League action.
A year later he was loaned to AC Milan, scoring twice in the Champions League Final of 2005, before seeing his side lose on penalties to Liverpool.
Returning to Stamford Bridge, Crespo was a regular figure in the side during 2005/6, scoring 13 times in all competitions as we retained our Premier League crown.
We thank Hernan for his efforts in a Chelsea shirt, and wish him well in the future.
