Here are the top 10 goalscorers in the history of Chelsea Football Club, ranked in order.
In the electric atmosphere of Stamford Bridge, where the roar of the crowd echoes through the ages, Chelsea Football Club has seen its fair share of goal-scoring maestros.
From legendary strikers to modern-day icons, these goal machines have etched their names in Chelsea’s history books with each stunning strike.
As we delve into the annals of the Blues’ rich heritage, let’s shine a light on the top 10 goal-scorers who have left indelible marks on the hallowed turf, captivating fans with their prowess in front of goal.
10 – George Hilsdon (108)
George Hilsdon’s name is one for the history books. He was the first centurion goal scorer for Chelsea, netting 27 goals in his maiden season to help the Blues to their inaugural league promotion.
9 – Eden Hazard (110)
There wasn’t a dry eye in the house when Eden Hazard moved to Real Madrid in 2019, making him the most expensive sale in the club’s history. The Brilliant Belgian bagged 110 goals across a sensational seven-year period. You’re always welcome back at the Bridge by Chelsea fans, Eden.
8 – George Mills (125)
A special place in the hearts of Chelsea fans will always be reserved for George Mills. He was the first man to score a century of league goals for the club and was the last player for the Blues to score a hat trick against Liverpool.
7 – Jimmy Greaves (132)
Here’s a stat for you. Jimmy Greaves scored 114 goals for the Blues youth sides before becoming a senior pro. Unfortunately, that didn’t count towards his final sum, which rests at 132.
6 – Peter Osgood (150)
Tied with Bentley in fifth place is the oh-so-good Peter Osgood. Another Chelsea great who tragically left us in 2006, a statue outside the Bridge was erected of Osgood for his iconic services to the team.
5 – Roy Bentley (150)
Very few players can manage one campaign as the club’s top scorer. Roy Bentley did it consecutively seven times after joining Chelsea in 1948. Bentley sadly passed away in 2018, but memories of his footballing excellence will live on forever.
4 – Didier Drogba (164)
A man who needs no introduction to the Blues faithful. Didier Drogba arrived in 2004 from Marseille as a highly-rated striker. He left South West London as one of the Premier League‘s greatest-ever forwards and an undisputed Chelsea legend. Plus he scored THAT header in Munich.
3 – Kerry Dixon (193)
Coming in a close third is the legendary Kerry Dixon. In his first season with Chelsea, he scored 34 goals and was swiftly up to 70 in 101 games with another fine haul the following year.
2 – Bobby Tambling (202)
Up until number one, Bobby Tambling was the Blues’ highest goal-getter for over 40 years. He netted on his debut in 1959 and simply didn’t stop until he left to join Crystal Palace in 1970.
1 – Frank Lampard (211)
Frank Lampard’s legacy will echo around Stamford Bridge until football ceases to exist. 211 goals in 648 appearances cements him as Chelsea’s record goal scorer, surpassing Bobby Tambling’s tally in 2013. He is the Chelsea all-time top goalscorer.
