Having joined the Blues in 2005, the defensive midfielder played until 2014 and featured in as many as 168 matches while winning numerous titles with the club.

Last Saturday when Jeffrey Schlupp featured for his Crystal Palace outfit in the 2-0 win against Sheffield United, it marked his 169th appearance in the English Premier League.
