Main regret - Ossie and Jimmy Greaves (ok I wasn't born when he was sold but I think we'd have had an even better 60's/70's history if we'd hung on to him) I should have said – comments above were only regarding the last 10 years.

Great talent but always on the lookout for a better deal. Heard the Spuds are looking at him now - they deserve each other. Biggest loss - Eidur. Great striker/midfielder and everything else.

I consider Zola more "semi-retired" than left. Kerry was my child-hood hero & his departure was heart-breaking, but injuries had clearly caught him up. "Wee Pat" leaving was a tough one to take ...

The liquidator beat me to adding LeSaux. As far as recent history is concerned Gallas is the most obvious big loss. The liquidator beat me to adding LeSaux.

In terms of Gallas - yes he threw a wobbly but he's hardly covered himself in glory at Arsenal since then, Ashley Cole being by far the better player and living up to his potential as a Chelsea player. I know he came back to us, but selling Graham Le Saux to Blackburn in 1993 for something like £300k plus Steve Livingstone? Not one of Chelsea's better bits of business!

But you bet I was sorry to see him leave. We're still struggling to replace him a season and a half later. You’re right Kostaz but he wasn’t really sold. But you bet I was sorry to see him leave.
