Central Defender: John Terry
“Of course I played with him at Chelsea. He was a true leader on the pitch as well as off of it and one of the amazing things about him was that he was such a big winner. He came to every training session and gave 100% and cared about all of the other players.”
50:50 Midfielder: Frank Lampard
“A player in his position that scores 20 goals a season over the course of so many years is something special. I haven’t seen many players that can also play defense like he did and was also able to score so many goals. What also turned him into a great player was his work ethic. He stayed after practice to work on his free kicks and runs. From an early age he was very careful and diligent to work on his physical fitness and that’s something else that I’ll remember about him.”

“I played with him at Bolton. He had absolute control with the ball. He was able to do things that no one else knew how to do and he brought them to world football. I also remember how he would change sides and make perfect accurate passes from 40-50 meters. He did things that you don’t see too often. A magician.”
Attacking Midfielder: Robinho
“We played together at Manchester City. He had the best control of any player that I’ve ever seen. I remember that before every match the players would get ready, receive treatments and go over some warm up drills in the dressing room. He would take the ball for that half hour before we went out for the warm ups and juggle it. For those 30 minutes he wouldn’t let it fall from his foot, head, back and ankle. 
It was like going to a performance to watch him. Now that’s something I will never forget. The ball wouldn’t fall off of his foot and we were all mesmerized at the things he could do. I believe that it was a missed opportunity that he didn’t play at the highest levels for a longer period of time.”
Striker: Didier Drogba
“I was privileged to play with him during his peak at Chelsea. He was such a extraordinary strong player, both with his right and left feet, his head game and free kicks. He was almost the complete player. He also had such a strong character – WOW!”
