He helped West Ham finish 5th in the premier league table by the end of the 1997-98 season. He moved to Chelsea in 2001 and he spent 13 years at the club. He was released in June 2014 because the club did not offer him a new contract.
He is described as the greatest ever player by his teammate John Terry, he was also considered by a number of Journalists and football experts to be one of the best midfielders of his generation.
He has moved to New York City fc on a free transfer but he is on loan at Manchester city for 6 months. He could’ve stayed at Chelsea if they offered him a new contract.
He is an absolute Legend.
I would like to meet him one day if I had the chance even though he is not at Chelsea any more.
He is a good person with good sense of humour, he doesn’t argue with referees.
