NUMBER 3 –Â MARCEL DESAILLY – CENTERÂ BACK.Â
Another choice met with very little debate, nicknamed “The Rock”, due to his consistency, strength, and hard-tackling playing style, and after forming a solid partnership with Frank Leboeuf. Desailly is widely viewed as one of the most accomplished players of his generation, and one of the best defenders ever produced by the French, making 158 appearances for Chelsea, and captaining the club to a UEFA Super Cup, an FA Cup, and an FA Charity Shield. A quick and powerful player, he combined both world class ability, and aggression; to land himself an easy place in most Chelsea fan’s best 11.
