Michael Ballack

yes especially when not playing for us

Not always true, he did play in the attacking role for us at times. Remember the back end of the 07-08 season when he literally single-handedly got us level with united from a seven point deficit in a single month? A truly remarkable player.

I was watching on Chelsea TV today the 2007-2008 season review. I had almost forgotten just how good he was on the pitch. The work he did at the business end of the season after returning from injury was unbelievable. Carried the team on his back to challenge for the title and to the Moscow final

I hope he does not end up at Qatar or something like that. He deserves to play in better leagues.

Best of luck to the best of midfielders, hope to see him at Chelsea again in some coaching position.

He'll never be forgotten, scored some really important goals for us, especially those two goals against United in 2008. Legend.
